THE CHRISTIAN ANNUAL

THE ANNUAL FOR NINETEEN FOURTEEN

This Annuax will have the usual number of errors in it, but it is a valuable
book notwithstanding.

The work of preparation has been accompanied with the usual delays which
shows that most of us are yet quite human.

It does not contain as many statistical tables as the one for last year, but
otherwise it has all the old features and many new ones.

** **

The story of the flood is preserved and will be valuable for all time to come.
We cannot afford to loose the facts of that awful calamity.

It represents a people who believe that creeds cannot be worded in Scrip-
ture language, and that no sectarian or exclusive sect can word its doctrine in
Scriptural language.

It represents a people who receive the Scriptures as their only rule of faith
and conduct, Christ as their only leader, Christian as their only name, and all
Christians as their brethren.

It represents a people whose God is the Lord, whose Christ is God's Son, and
whose comforter is the Holy Spirit ; a people who have not divided the Deity into
parts, labeling each parcel according to rule.

It represents a people, who believe it to be the duty of all Christians to
receive each other in fellowship on the simple confession of faith in Christ, and
an expressed determination to abide by the Bible and cultivate godliness, charity,
and union, and to labor for the glory of God among men.

It represents a people whose principles are rapidly becoming known and felt
among all the great religious bodies of the world, and who rejoice in the coming
day when all men shall unite in Jesus Christ and shall be content to wear His
name, develop His character, and live in peace one with the other.

♦♦ ♦♦

It represents a people who hold that the salvation of the soul is more
precious than human opinion or minor definitions of faith as declared in the
creeds; a people who believe that a narrower platform would be sectarian, a
broader one latitudinarian, and a substitute, heretical.

THE CHRISTIAN ANNUAL

It represents a people whose faith embraces all truth, and whose fellowship
includes all saints; a people who receive what the Bible teaches and reject
what the Bible rejects; a people who believe in the unity of the spirit and the
bond of peace.

It represents a people who extend their fellowship to all who love the Lord,
requiring nothing of them but repentance toward God and faith in the Lord
Jesus Christ, with obedience to His word according to the dictates of their own
conscience.

*.* *,*
♦♦ ♦♦

It represents a people whose principles are at once apostolic and general,
orthodox and liberal, evangelical and charitable, pure and practical, safe and
fraternal ; whose name is divinely given, and whose creed has never been amended,
and no part of it ever repealed.

It represents a people who do not regard water baptism as a pre-requisite
to membership in the church, or to the right of communion; a people who do
not claim that the apostles confined the observance of the Lord's Supper to the
first day of the week, nor yet that they observed it every first day.

It represents a people who published the first religious newspaper, opened the
first college with equal rights to both sexes, and who were the first to discard
human names and human leaders, and the first to take the name of their Lord
as their only name, and to make Him their only leader.

It represents a people who believe in the right of the individual to interpret
God's word for himself alone, but that while he enjoys such right of interpreta-
tion he is not to set up his interpretation of truth as a standard by which to
measure and weigh the correctness of truth as conceived by another; a people who
believe in prayer, in public worship, in spiritual regeneration, in a God-called
ministry, in education, in missions, and in every other good and great truth or
line of Christian activity authorized by the Scriptures or proved effectual by trial.

I watat to express my apiweciation of the valuable service rendered by the
Conference secretaries, the secretaries of the various departments of the Conven-
tion, the agent of The Christian Publishing Association, the proof-reader, and
others, who have helped to make The Christian Annual for 1914; and to
especially mention the Convention stenographer, Miss Lelah Culver, atid the fore-
man of the printing department, Pressley E. Zartmann, for their patient, pains-
taking effort in the work which fell to their respective lots.

HOME MISSIONS IN NINETEEN THIRTEEN

By Oliver W. Pov*-ers, Home Mission Secretary

Home Mi.ssions is the first concern of the Church in the land where it exists.
Foreign Missions is the first care of the Church in the world. But Home Mis-
sions is the first duty of the Church to its own land.

The Church in America has always been responsive to the call of duty in this
direction. With the first advance of the descendants of the Pilgrims and Puri-
tans into the wilderness, the Church followed with anxious care, to see that the
new settlements were not developed without the go.spel. The steadily advancing
frontier has been followed by the Home Mission Church and the Home Mission
School. And so America has been kept true to the fine ideals of its formative
period.

But Home Missions in 1913 has changed from the simple task of following the
frontier line, to the complex one of maintaining Christian institutions in the
face of unprecedented movements of population, and industrial and social changes
that amount to a revolution. Frontier work is no less needed, but the frontier
problem is harder than ever. The difference between the little emigrant family,
or the little company, making its way toilsomely through the wilderness, over
mountains, and across prairies, and the modern throngs, hurrying by train loads
to the few spots left open for the homesteader, or swarming into lands made
available for settlement by nev/ facilities for travel, or by the transformation
wrought by irrigation projects, measures also the difference between the old
frontier mission work and the new.

Added to this strenuous task of keeping pace with the development of new
comnaunities, are the new calls for service. The Immigrants, or new people from

THE CHRISTIAN ANNUAL

the old world, fifteen millions of them, to be absorbed into our national life ; tho
Negroes, the "assisted immigrants," against their will, of generations ago, now
forming a mighty problem in assimilation or good neighborhood ; the Belated
Populations, or the southern mountaineers, around whom the forward march
of the past century has swept without more than toucning them; the Spanish
Americans of the Southwest, a million or more of alien speech and life; the
Indians, the occupants with a prior claim to this mighty empire, ruthlessly thrust
aside, and claiming the most faithful ministry in return ; the Mormons, making
an empire within an empire in our great West, and menacing our religious, moral,
social, economic, and political well-being ; Lumber Camps, Mining Camps, Con-
struction Camps — every place where groups of men are segregated without family
Ufe and community institutions ; the Islands and the Canal Zone, subject to
American ownership or control with its accompaniment of American responsi-
bility ; Alaska, our last great frontier, but with new frontier problems, about
to be opened for settlement with unlimited resources and possibilities ; the city,
everywhere, with all of the old problems accentuated and none of them approach-
ing solution ; the country, with empty churches, disorganized community life,
increasing tenantry and dwindling population ; all these are added to the old
task, and make it gigantic in its new proportions. Besides this the industrial
strife, the menace of vice-promoting institutions, the imperative need of a new
interpretation of Christianity to those who have ceased to speak its language
or understand its underlying principles and motives, gives us a Home Mission
Task, coterminous with every activity of the Church.

For this great work the evangelical churches are girding themselves. In
view of it they are seeking a better knowledge and cooperation. In it they
are finding a practical ground of unity and a bond of fellowship. The Home
Missions Council, the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, and
the whole list of interdenominational movements and endeavors, are helping
to mass the forces of the churches on the great task. Home Missions in 1913 is
more than ever the compelling motive of the Church.

The Home Mission Department of The American Christian Convention,
endeavoring to answer to the call as far as its resources and opportunities allow,
has not been able to turn in all of these directions. But in some it is finding
the way. The departments in which it has been most active are Frontier work,
City Church Extension, care of weak churches, and work for the immigrant.

The frontier fields are western Washington, western Idaho, and Wyoming.
Eighteen city and town churches have been given aid during the year. Eight
weak churches have been given assistance. One conference (Eastern New York)
has been aided in maintaining a field secretary, who has been of great assistance
to the rui'al churches of the conference. A field secretary has been provided for
New England, in connection with the work at Boston, Mass. Work for the
immigrant has been resumed in the Boston church, under the auspices of the
Mission Department, the title to the Boston church property having been
transferred to the Mission Board.

New church buildings have been erected and dedicated at the following points
where the Mission Board has been rendering assistance : Louisville, Illinois ;
Winchester, Va. ; Wyoming, Delaware ; Lamberts Point, Norfolk, Va. Church
buildings have been repaired or remodeled, or are in process of erection, at Port-
land, Indiana ; Raleigh, N. C. ; Chapel Hill, N. C, and Eastport, Maine.

Appropriations have been made in aid of missions at Springfield, Ohio ( where
a mission church has been erected and dedicated), in furtherance of evangelistic

work in Delaware, for the aid of Franklinton Christian College (Colored), and
for one city and one country church needing temporary assistance.

Two churches have been organized in the State of Wyoming, one in Missouri,
and one in Delaware. Four new Sunday-schools have been organized in
Wyoming, one in Missouri, and one in Delaware.

THE CHRISTIAN ANNUAL

IN FOREIGN LANDS

By M. T. Morrill, Foreign Mission Secretary

Doubtless many of the readers of The Christian Annual are already
.icquaiuted with the salieut points regarding our Japan Mission and its founding,
and yet it may do no harm to recall a few facts.

Our work began in 1887, under Rev. and Mrs. D. F. Jones, in the large town
of Ishinomaki, on the east coast of the island of Hondo, well toward the north,
•md a few miles from the city of Sendai. Ishinomaki has steadily grown, and is
m importait point. The Joneses saw our first convert gained, our first church
organizeil there, and our first church building erected in that town. Immediately
they began to seod workers out into surrounding towns, securing permission of
the Mission Board to employ as many evangelists as possible, that they might
reach the largest number of people in the shortest possible time. The church at
Ishinomaki was organized September 30, 1887, land was secured and a church
building erected, the dedication occurring February 11, 1888. The property cost
S445.00. Tht church at Ichinoseki was organized July 1, 18SS. Alxmt this
time Mr. Jones was compelled to move to Tokyo, and began evangelistic work
there October 11. February 1, 1889, the church in Tokyo was organized with
seventeen members. The first convert was a business man, who has ever since
lieen faithful and continued his membership, and is still in business not far away
from the church. This was really the begiiming of what has come to be an
important Christian work.

In May. 1914, our missionary work in Japan will be twenty-seven years old.
What are the results of those twenty-seven years, of money expenditure, and
earnest human effort?

First, there have been a large number of evangelists and Christian pastors
connected with our work, many of whom have received direct impulse from us.
Our oldest pastors were trained by us and are still in the service. There have
been a number of Bible women similiarly raised up and employed. I have not
been able to ascertain the total number of church members connected with our
work since its beginning, but feel sure that the figures would run into the
thousands.

In the second place, there have been thirteen churches organized, eleven of
which are still in existence, and need regular missionary and pastoral super-
vision. These churches have, of course, carried with them the usual Sunday-
school and prayer-meeting services, and a great deal of splendid evangelistic work
has been done, of which there is nothing definite to tell to-day.

In the third place, a Japan Christian Conference has been organized, con-
sisting of pastors and delegates, which has steadily grown in effectiveness, and
has come to be a recognized force in that section of country occupied by our
churches. The conference is well officered, and does business in a business-like
way.

In the fourth place, during a large part of the twenty-seven years we have
maintained educational work of some description, by which we have actually
trained pastors and workers. The Tokyo Christian Theological School was the
last form of organization in effect, but a dearth of students made it advisable
to suspend that school for the present. The most recent graduates of course
have better training than those of years ago. We now have thirteen ordained
I)astors, all of them men who have received training fitting them for their
position.

THE CHRISTIAN ANNUAL 11

In the fifth place, we have property amounting in value to $16,200.00, located
in the cities of Tokyo, Utsuuomiya, Sendai, Ishinomaki, and Ichinoseki. The
last acqi]isiti'>n was a lot in the town last named, upon which will be located the
Weston Memorial Chapel.

In the sixth place, we have kept on the field a corps of workers of recognized
ability. All told we have had fourteen missionaries in Japan, nine of whom are
still in active service. These missionaries maintain an organization known as
the Christian Mission in Japan, and they also have a missionary corporation
formed for {he special service of holding property. This is necessitated by the
laws of the country. Our missionaries are highly regarded by the Japanese, and
by the missionaries of other denominations.

The present statistics of the work are as follows: Stations and outposts
regularly occupied, 39; organized churches, 11, as follows: Tokyo, 2, Oji, Utsuu-
omiya, Sendai. Ishinomaki, Iwaideyama, Wakuya, Tsukidate, Ichinoseki, Hiro-
buchi; total church membership, 847; baptisms for the year, 99; received by
letter, 12; Sunday-schools maintained, 25; enrollment in Sunday-schools. 2,110;
Christian Endeavor societies, 4; money contributed by the Japanese churches,
$707.16.

As to o;;r Japanese pastors and workers a few words should be said. They
compare favorably with our ministers and workers here in America, and are
^ppareutly just as effective, notwithstanding they work in circumstances that
are very di'?advantageous! For example, these young pastors and their wives
are sent out into large towns where they are the only representatives of Chris-
tianity, and \\here they are sure to meet determined opposition. They v.re given
but very mtager equipment in the way of tools to work with. They have stood
nobly by the work, and have endured no little privation and persecution without
a murmur. Each of these men is willing and anxious to do outpost work, but
most of them are able to do very little of such work, because we are not giving
the Mission and its workers suflicient money. The most needful thing at present
is to enlarge the funds and send these men into the field to do each of them a
man's work.

Just a few words concerning our missionary force. Our fields are well cared
for by our r^resent missionaries. These men and women are effective, and could
cover larger fields, and should be expected to do so, but only on condition that
they are given suflicient means to work with. No two of the missionaries have
the same qualifications and adaptations, which is a fortunate circumstance in
our ease, because our small force, when taken as a whole, can do many things
and do them well. It is not necessary to increase our force of missionary
workers until we are ready to make a considerable advance in missionary giving;
then we wil' be able to put other missionaries in the field, and do a much more
acceptable work for our Japanese friends.

The Quarter-Century Celebration was the most important event connected
with our Japan work during the past year. It was looked forward to with great
interest in Japan, and by a great many of the friends in America. The mission-
aries did not take keener interest than the Japanese themselves. The celebration
was a part of the annual conference session, which began the 29th of April, and
closed the 2d of May. On the afternoon of May 2, the President of the county.
Mayor of the town, Chief of Police, members of the Council, and other friends
at Ishinomaki were present to grace the occasion, and a special program com-
memorating the completion of twenty-five years of active and successful mis-
sionary work was rendered. The local dignitaries brought hearty greetings. His-

THE CHRISTIAN ANNUAL 13

torical sketihes and addresses bj- the missionaries occupied a part of the time.
The whole closed with a banquet in one of the large hotels of the town. In spite
of exceedingly bad weather the celebration was an entire success, and the breth-
ren in Japan have entered upon the second quarter-century of work with re-
newed hope and zeal. The visit of the Foreign Secretary on this occasion has
undoubtedly proved of benefit, and especially as it seemed to bridge the gap
between the workers in America, and the workers in Japan. There is every
reason why we should more heartily support the Japan Mission, why we should
invest more lunds in the Christian work inaugurated there, and why we should
push to a fuller fruition the undertaking which has been signallj^ blessed during
the past twenty-six years. And hence the interest and sympathy of every reader
of The Christian AnpIiuax is enlisted, together with such gifts as individuals
may be prompted to offer to the Lord's cause, as represented by our missionary
work in Japan.

The missionary work conducted in the island of Porto Rico by the Mission
Bo?rd of the Christian Church was begun in 1901, when Rev, H. J. Rhodes and
Rev. and Mrs. D. P. Barrett were sent to that country. As is well known, they
located on the south side of the island, at the city of Ponce, and very soon reached
out eastward making Salinas our second point. Salinas is a large and important
town, but does not compare in size with the city of Ponce. Our first church
building wan located in Salinas, and was dedicated February, 1907. Two chapels
have been erected by the Porto Rican people, and it was not until the year 1913
that we were ready to dedicate a place of worship in the city of Ponce, although
that was our headquarters all the time, and the first place where we opened
Christian work.

All told, we have had six missionaries in Porto Rico, only two of whom at
present reside in that island. The results of our work there are to be seen of
course in several ways.

First, the congregations gathered, and their influences. We are unable to
tell exactly what the church membership has been since the beginning of our
Mission there, but we presume that it has run well toward a thousand.

Second, at present we occupy fourteen stations and outposts. There are
four organized churches. The total church membership is 1901. There have
been forty baptisms during the past year. The total Sunday-school enrollment
is 720. Two Christian Endeavor societies have a combined membership of
110. At present there are five Porto Rican workers employed. This missionary
work in Porto Rico is small, and has produced only small results so far,
and much less than would have accrued had we put more money into the work.
The small appropriation has been notoriously inadequate.

Third, we now own and control property at eight points, namely, Ponca,
Canas, Arus, Manzanilla, Playita, Santa Isabel, Salinas, and Las Mareas,
aggregating in value at least §14,000.00. Two of the chapels are very cheap
affairs, one of them made of reeds, and the other partly of boards, !5tems of
palm leaves, and reeds, but the others are constructed sutBciently well that they
are substantial and will last some time.

Fourth, as to pastors and workers, we have only one ordained man. Rev.
Rafael Hernandez. His ability is recognized among Christian people throughout
the island, and from the beginning of his engagement with the Christian
Church he has faithfully adhered to his task. Pedro Roman is a conference

licentiate, and lias been with the Mission for a number of years. The other
workers are younger, some of them still in school. There are no Bible women
who devote their whole time to church work.

The most pressing need of Porto Rico is a group of native pastors and
workers, who can be properly supported and carry on with vigor evangelistic
work in all the points within our field. Again and again attention has been
called to the fact that seventy-five thousand souls in Porto Rico are practically
dependent upon us and our agents for Christian light and a knowledge of
Christ.

As to our missionary force, it should be said that three of our missionaries
have been obliged to retire on account of ill health. Two of them were severely
broken down, and are not yet able to return. Rev. D. P. Barrett and wife
are the only missionaries we now have in Porto Rico. The force should be
increased at once, and might be, had we funds in hand and assured for a

husband, a devoted wife and missionary.

3. Rev. Rafael Hernandez, ordained to the ministry in February, 1913, young,

studious, consecrated, trusty pastor in Ponce.

series of years in the future with which to send new missionaries to the field.
And yet very faithful and effective work has been done in the twelve years
of half-hearted missionary effort in Porto Rico.

The dedication of the Ponce church was the most important event of
the past year. A very handsome brick building was erected, at a cost of a
little less than seven thousand dollars. It is well erected and entirely adequate
for present needs. All who have spoken about it are enthusiastic, and we
should be proud to have such a piece of property connected with our missionary
work. Dr. and Mrs. J. F. Burnett went to Porto Rico in January, 1913, to
be present at the dedication, and while waiting for that event, inspected the
whole field, gathering much valuable information, and imparting a great deal
of inspiration to the brethren and workers in that field. Probably nothing has
ever occurred connected with the Porto Rican work that brought such joy and
encouragement to the Christians there as the dedication of the Ponce church.

One fact should not be overlooked, namely, the Porto Rico field is now well
equipped for aggressive work. There are buildings at the strategic points,
with nearly enough funds in sight for building a chapel at another important
point. Two things are lacking at present : First, funds, and second, missionaries.
The first must come before the second. Not only must we be able to employ

It

missionaries, but we must be able to employ more Porto Rican workers, and
to send them out into more towns. It is unjust to other missions and to
the people in our field to hold so many points without preaching services, or
other Christian work. May we not hope that readers of this sketch will be
inspired to pray, and work, and give for Porto Rico, until we have ability
to man our field, and gather in fruits that are waiting for the harvest?

Budget for 1913-1914

The following Budget has been adopted by the Mission Board for our
foreign work for the year ending September 30, 1914:

APPROPRIATIONS FOR THE TEAK

Japan $10,500.00

Porto Rico 3,500.00

Administration and Publicity 2,000.00

Foreign Mission Deficit 9,000.00

Total $25,000.00

This total is the sum which was adopted by action of The American Christian
Convention at Troy. Thus far we have not yet reached it any year of the

quadrennium, but we are well able to reach it, and we invite all readers of
The Annual to join in prayer with us and others, beseeching our heavenly
Father, who controls all hearts, and who can dispose of the funds in men's
hands, that the gifts of individuals and churches may, during the year 1914,

reach the full sum of $25,000.00. During the past year our total regular receipts
for foreign missions were $14,947.16; but with money raised for tho Ponce
church, the Arus Chapel, the Foreign Mission Secretary's trip to Japan, and
some other similar items, the total amount raised for foreign missions by our
people the missionary year past was between nineteen and twenty thousand
dollars. Surely, therefore, it would be possible for us all, with a proper measure
of devotion and effort, to swell the total receipts to twenty-five thousand dollars
during this closing year of the present quadrennium. Again we make this
appeal as emphatically and urgently as possible.

POLICY ADOPTED BY AVOMAX'S MISSION BOARDS

Our Motto : — "The All-sufiiciency of God."

Our Aim : — To strengthen the work of our Woman's Mission Board. To
make real the personal responsibility of every woman in every local society. To

advance in organization, gifts, and information. To empliasize our constant need
of di^^ne wisdom and grace in every work that we attempt.

I. PRAYER

We will endeavor to impress upon the women of our churches the power of
definite and persistent prayer in public and in private. We will exalt the devo-
tional service in the regular meetings of our local societies. We will constantly
and tenderly urge the daily use of the Prayer Cycle and the Covenant prepared by
our Boards and the observance of the nine o'clock a. m., prayer hour, remember-
ing especially the work for which our women are directly responsible.

II. FINANCE

(a) Kesponsibility. We will attempt to compute the portion of the
mission fields for which our Boards are responsible, and to ascertain the amount
of money needed to meet this responsibility, and to impress it upon the women of
our churches as a sacred obligation.

(b) We will urge our local societies and conference boards to pay all due>
and pledges in quarterly payments and always in even dollars.

(c) Budget. We will, by prayer and persistent effort, seek to secure $2,000
for each Board.

(d) We will present our boards as proper recipients for legacies and memor-
ial gifts.

(e) Stewardship. Appreciating the need of an awakening in our churches
to the obligation of Christian stewardship, we will emphasize individual and
sacrificial giving on a systematic and proportionate basis. And we will endeavor
to accept God's challenge in Mai. 3 : 10. "Bring ye all the tithes into the store-
house and prove me now saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows
of heaven and pour you out a blessing that you will not be able to receive it."
"For he is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think accord-
ing to the power that worketh in us."

III. EXTENSION

(a) We will make a careful study of our territory with a view to strength-
ening the weak points and forming new organizations.

(b) We will urge local societies to institute thorough and persisteut mem-
bership crusades, if possible in February, seeking to reach every woman who
comes within the sphere of our influence.

(c) We will seek to secure in every conference a force of volunteer work-
ers who will qualify to go out two by two into the churches of their conference
carrying missionary information and inspiration.

(d) We will try to have an officer of one of our Woman's Boards at the
annual meeting of each conference board.

(e) We will see that all possible stimulus and encouragement are given to
the training of the children and the young people of the church along direct mis-
sionary lines in children's bands, Sunday-.schools, and Young People's and Young
Women's societies.

(f) Home Department. Realizing that in every church there are women
who are deprived of attending the regular meetings of our missionary societies, we
urge the promotion of the missionary Home Department in all our churches and
recommend that this department be under the supervision of the vice-presidents

of societies, and where there is no society we will seek to secure a woman wLc
will undertake this neglected fruitful form of service.

Knowing that the success of one is often the encouragement of another, we
would urge our conference and society officers to make mention of their work
in The Christian Missionary and The Herald of Oospel Liberty.

IV. EDUCATION

Believing that the missionary literature of to-day excels any other in truth,
in pathos, in dignity, and in its bearing on great world problems, we will, in everj'
possible way, encourage its wider reading and study.

(a) We will urge that our missionary societies form missionary libraries
that the books be systematically circulated and an endeavor made to get every
woman in the church to read something each year on the subject of missions. We
urge that every member of our missionary societies be asked to own and read
the text-books for the current year.

(b) We will urge the organization of more study classes.

(c) We urge that every conference Woman's Board send a representative
delegate to one of the summer schools for missions.

(d) Believing that no woman can rightfully discharge her individual
responsibility in the great mission work committed to her own church who does
not keep herself informed of the needs and progress in her own denomination we
will emphasize the support of The Christian Missionary.

EDUCATIONAL PROGRESS

By AV, G. Sargent, Providence, R, I,

The record of the past year, in matters educational, has been a record of
progress. As ever happens ideals have by no means been attained, but we are
sure we are making advancement of a most substantial order. The growth of
some of our interests has been so pronounced as to surprise the most sangmn.
It is unfortunate that all members of our constituency cannot see the work at
first hand, for we are very well assured, if such visitation were made possible,
the re.sponse of the membership of the Church at large would be much more worthy
of our great cause than is apparent at present. Since this is not possible the
department has made such endeavor as time would permit to set forth the con-
dition of our schools and colleges, in every way open to it, that information might
be conveyed to the people at large. To this end three means have been utilized :
We have persistently sought to secure the appointment in all of our conferences
of Educational Secretaries, a part of whose duties it should bo to give an annual
report, some time during the conference session, of the pi-.-.gress of the work
during the year. The department has put such information as it could secure
regarding the growth and the needs of our various enterprises into the hands of
the secretaries that have been appointed in response to our lequest. The per-
sistency of the department with the conferences has secured the appointment
of a large number of secretaries, so that we may believe that much information
has been given the people at large through this medium. A second means to
the end of setting the facts before the people has been the publication of leaflets
for free distribution. Fifty thousand copies of the Annual Call were published,
with the intention of entering every home in the denomination, or, at least, that
part of it to which the Annual Call is sent, for the Southern Convention looks
after its own educational interests, making an annual grant from the Convention
treasury for the department. As far as possible the Call was designed to set
some of the salient facts of our educational work before the people. The third
means adopted has been the pages of The Herald of Gospel Liberty. Probably
in no single year has so much matter, bearing directly upon our educational
work, found place in the columns of our denominational paper. The editor
has given the utmost assistance to the department, and it is due quite largely to
his generous aid that the matter has been so well placed and so prominently
brought to the attention of the readers. A word ought to be said of the very

38

THE CHRISTIAN ANNUAL

high character of the matter printed. Those who have been appealed to to
write on matters of educational moment have evidently given the best of their
thought to the productions we have been able to secure. Unfailing kindness on
the part of most of those who have been requested to give assistance in this
direction has made the work of the Secretary much easier, and we believe all the
effort to this end must have been productive of good. It is the intention of the
department to keep these three avenues open, if possible, enlarging as opportunity
proffers itself, and making our people, throughout the denomination, aware of
the splendid development of our schools and colleges. To use the words of
one of our college presidents in a recent article in The Herald of Oospel Liberty.

Defiance College — A Faeulty Group

it will still be the aim of the department to secure an awakening in all of our
churches "to the fact that east and west, and north and south, the Christians
have colleges of their own, of high standing; so that the need no longer exists.
if ever it did exist, for them to send their children to outside schools, with the
almost certain result of having them trained away from the interest and life of
their own people."

During the year the colleges have, for the most part, responded generously
to the repeated request made of them all to furnish items of news interest for
the Educational Column of The Herald of Gospel Liberty. This is as it ought
to be. Nothing can be surer than that those institutions that have kept their
work before the reading public in this way have greatly benefited by their action
It is equally true that those that have failed to respond have lost to that degree.
"What we desire our schools to see is that this is legitimate advertising, in a con-
stituency from which they may hope to draw most of the student body, done at
no cost, other than the effort. That this is not all, of course, is true. We need
such information, denominationally, for our larger inspiration. So that those
colleges that have regularly reported the progress of their work have accom-
plished two ends — given a greater impetus to all phases of the denominational
work, and advertised their institutions. We hope the time is not far distant
when all of our schools, small as well as large, will recognize the valiie of regular

THE CHRISTIAN ANNUAL

39

correspondence to The Herald. If the cooperation of the membership of the
Church at large is to be secured our schools must respond to the call.

The general excellence of the Special Educational Number of The Herald
is evidence of what generous cooperation on the part of those who conceive of
the educational program of the Church as vital, may accomplish.

The Christian BiMical Institute, the only denominational theological insti-
tution, reports this past year an attendance of thirty students. These do not
comprise, of course, all students preparing for the ministry in the denomination,
there being, according to the annual reports, 102 students in training for the
ministry. The selection of Prof. Geo. C. Enders as dean of the Institute approves
itself as a most happy one, as the following extract from the report of the
President of Defiance College indicates: "Dr. Enders has not only maintained
his reputation as a most efficient instructor, but he has shown strong elements
of leadership in the direction of the religious organization composed of all those
training for active Christian service and the Y. M. C. A., and has wielded a
most potent influence over the lives of our ministerial students."

In the annual report of the Dean he calls attention to the increasing empha-
sis, in the courses provided by the school, upon Religious Education as the most

vital element in the life of the church ; upon the problem of the rural church, of
special import to the Christian denomination: and to expert work in Missions,
to provide missionary leaders in the work of the advancing kingdom at home
and abroad.

The deficit reported last year amounting to $890.88 has been reduced to
$156.79. Extensive improvements have been made to Weston Hall, and a new
pipe organ installed, the entire cost being over $8,000. A college chaplain. In
the person of Rev. N. G. Newman, D. D., of Holland, \a., has been added to the
already efficient staff of the Institute, and we are assured the serv^ice he v?ill. be
able to render to the institution will be invaluable.

40

THE CHRISTIAN ANNUAL

Defiance College has suffered, indirectly, as doubtless most educational insti-
tutions in that belt of the country have, from the effects of the disastrous flood,
which inundated so large a section of the State, early in the year. Notwith-
standing this, however, it begins the present term Mith an enrollment numbering
eighty-three more than last year. Two new instructors have been added to the
institution, both of them being assigned to the science department. Nearly
$2,500 has been spent in enlarging the equipment of the scientific department,
while six hundred and fifty-six volumes have been added to the library, at a cost
of over $700. The school faces, as present indications would seem to make sure,
the best year, by a large margin, in its history.

Elon College, 1S\ C, has, so far, the largest enrollment in its history, passing
even the phenominal record of last year. The school will have a teaching staff
of twenty-two the coming year, and is facing the pressing problem of more
instructors and shorter hours, as well as advancing salaries. The Board of
Trustees of the college have ordered the erection of a new vlub house for young
men. The new publishing house, the Alumni Building, the Ladies' Hall, known
as the New West Dormitory, will afford dormitory space for an additional student
body of one, hundred and eighty -two.

Elon College — A Group of Students

Starkey Seminary has added valuable apparatus to its scientific department
and increased the size of its library, while extensive renovations were made to
the hall during the summer vacation. Some changes have been made on the
faculty, three of the instructors resigning at the close of the school year. Their
places have been happily filled, and the prospects for the year are reported good.

Special mention should be made of FranlcUnton College, our school for the
negro. Early in the year the Board of Control began the erection of a plant
of which the cost was estimated to be $35,000. At the time of writing the
walls are completed, and it is expected, before the Christmas season arrives, that
the roof w^ill be on, and the process of completing the interior will be well under
wa;y. How far the Board of Control will be able to go in the completion of the

THE CHRISTIAN ANNUAL

41

building will depend entirely upon the generosity of the denomination, as, at
least $15,000 of the amount necessary to completion must bo raised by popular
or individual subscription. Rev. John Blood is giving time and energy to the
work, and his sacrificial endeavor demands the most spontaneous response from
the denomination at large. When completed the building will be a credit to the '
denomination, which is amply able to put it in first-class condition, as our contri-
bution to the increasingly perplexing problem of the most insistent of Home
Mission calls.

Jireh College, situated at Jireh, Wyoming, a rapidly-developing section of the
West, our pioneer religious educational institution in the State, is the only denom-
inational college in the State. Its present enrollment is twenty. There are
five instructors. The college possesses assets of over $40,000, consisting of good
new college building with twenty-four rooms, endowment, lands, etc. The coi-

tion College — New Biiildiug:

lege is in need of increased equipment, funds for current expenses, and dormi-
tories. The enterprise is one that is to be commended to the whole denomination.
The catalogue issued by Jireh, this year, indicates steady growth in the school.

Kirton Hall, established in Toronto, Canada, is intended to furnish students
of the Christian Church with a home where they will be surrounded with whole-
some influences, will be near a Christian church, and will be able to contribute
to the development of the church, as well as receive denominational training
which will insure their intelligent cooperation with the church in the future.
Board and room at specially low rates are furnished students who purpose
entering the ministry. The institution will provide a home lor several students.

The first year of the establishment of Palmer College at Albany, has, so far
as such a short period could, demonstrated the wisdom of the move. The attend-
ance has been the largest in the recent history of the school, and the first term
of the present college year indicates a still rising enrollment. President E. A.
Watkins has gathei'ed about him an efficient staff of instructors, new courses

42 • THE CHRISTIAN ANNUAL

have been opened up, and the whole spirit of the school seems to he most
optimistic. In April of the present year, by vote of the State Convention of
Kansas, it was decided to federate Kansas Christian College with Palmer and
remove the interest of the former school to Albany. According to the plan of
•federation the State of Kansas will be represented on the Board by five members,
and the income derived from school property owned and controlled by the Kansas
State Conference will be devoted to special scholarships to students from the
State. The plan seems to be a most wise one, and is in line with efforts which
have been made for some time to unite at least three of our western schools, Pal-
mer, Kansas, and Weaubleau. The latter school has, unfortunately, refused to
consider the proposition, though the former president has joined the faculty of
Palmer and it was thought at the time the school would unite with the latter
institution. Weaubleau will be continued during the present year under the
presidency of Rev. O. B. Whitakei', but whether as a denominational school
or as a local institution the secretary has not been made awarj^.

Union Christian, College reported last year an enrollment of one hundred and
thirty-nine with ten instructors, and twelve preparing for Ibe ministry. The
school, under the presidency of Dr. D. A. Long, is prospering. New courses are
being added to the curriculum, and the teaching staff is being increased, not only
in numbers, but in efficiency. The school plans to put an agont in the field who
will endeavor to secure pledges for the $10,000 which have been expended in
making repairs and erecting a dormitory. Union has a rich territory in money
and men to draw from, and ought to succeed in its project.

During the month of May the Secretary visited Elon College, N. C, and
Frauklinton Christian College of the same State. He found the new building
at the latter place in process of erection, and was conducted over the college farm
by Prof. Long, who kindly gave up the day for the puri)ose. He also visited the
Presbyterian school for colored people in the same town and was shown over the
plant by the president. The reception accorded the Secretary by the faculty
and student body at Elon was most hearty. Seven lectures were given here, one
to the whole student body and six to the theological students, including about
thirty-five young men. The Secretary also spoke twice on Sunday in the college
chapel. He can only hope the visit was productive of some good.

Any attempt to note matters of greatest educational moment during the past
year would be most incomplete did we fail to speak of the death of Rov. J. B.
Weston, D. D., long time president of the Christian Biblical Institute, and chan-
cellor of Defiance College, at the time of his death. His removal deprives the
denomination of one of the greatest educators it has produced, and though his
advanced years had relieved him of some of the heavier burdens, he was accus-
tomed to bear, in this respect, his association with the work was still so intimate,
and his grasp of the elements that make for growth so clear that his loss will be
keenly felt. He was assuredly "the noblest Roman of them all." Undoubtedly
more extended notice will be made of his demise elsewhere in the Annu.\x. We
simply want to chronicle, here, our estimate of the invaluable aid he rendered the
denomination, and the cause of higher education, generally, throughout liis long
and successful life as an educator.

this progressive age are focalized in making the Bible-school of the church keep
pace with the other great organizations. The recent session of the World's
Sunday-school Convention at Zurich, Switzerland, where seventy countries were
represented by twenty-six hundred delegates, who crossed ]and and sea, at a
great sacrifice, to come together in a great world-movement of fraternity and
brotherly love, demonsti'ated the magnitude of the work that we are undertaking.
In this movement, the child is the central figure of interest and prayerful con-
cern. Truly a little child is leading the nations of the earth together for the
salvation of the children of all nations. We are a part of a great organic and
vital union and must measure up to our part of the responsibility by appropriating
the best things in methods, in literature, in organization, and in education, and
applying them to the cultivation of our part of the Sunday-school field, which
is the world.

We as a people should contribute our part in the production of helpful books
on Sunday-school methods and teacher-training. Our writers should seek to
contribute special helps in the organization of the modern methods of Sunday-
school work. The Organized Adult Bible Class movement is one of the most
powerful agencies for the organization of the adult membership of our churches
in aggressive Sunday-school work and there should be a number of books pre-
pared by our people in the explanation of the methods of organization and con-
duct of this movement. When our people awake to their ability to produce
valuable helps on these special branches of Sunday-school work, there will be
a great awakening in the minds of the most intelligent and aggressive Sunday-
school workers of the Church. We have been satisfied too long with the helps
written by others, and the time has come when the specialist in Sunday-school
work should contribute something that will be especially appropriate to our
needs.

Our people should establish libraries on Sunday-school helps for every
department of work, o'-ganization, teaching, teacher-training, and Bible study.
The aggressive Sunday-school workers of all denominations have produced hun-
dreds of valuable books on every phase of Sunday-school work- Many of our

44 THE CHRISTIAN ANNUAL

people might multiply the workiog power and efficiency of our schools by using
the best available helps in the field of Sunday-school literature. The Christian
Publishing Association can furnish our schools the finest helps on every phase
of Sunday-school work and recommend libraries that will be within the reach
of schools of moderate means as well suitable for the more wealthy schools.

One of the greatest needs of most of the schools in the Church is more
aggressive work for the thorough training of Sunday-school teachers. The
Sunday-school Board would urge the schools of the Church to organize Teacher-
Training classes in every school even though only a few can be induced to enter.
The pastor could not engage in a more valuable work in the training of workers
that would contribute to the progress of the church than in ijreparing the young
people of his congregation who are apt to teach for Sunday-school teachers. In
schools where the pastor cannot undertake this work, some successful teacher
could undertake it and not only contribute to the future development of the work
but also get great good out of such a course. Oliver's book on "Teacher-Training"
has been adopted by the Board for the First Standard Course and "Preparing
the Teacher," published by our own Church, has been adopted as the Advanced
Standard Course. It would be well to undertake the advanced course and
complete this work and be awarded a diploma by the International Sunday-school
Association.

More of our schools should strive to reach the Front-Line Standard, not for
the sake of the honor which is worthy, but for the sake of winning more people to
Chiist and for the great benefit that the introduction of all these modern methods
will do in promoting greater interest in the Sunday-scool work and in aggressive
Bible study. The requirements for this standard are as follows : —

I. School open all the year.

II. The Bible used in the Class.

III. An active Cradle Roll.

lY. A Home Department.

V. Teachers' and officers' meetings.

VI. Teacher-Training.

VII. Organized Adult Bible Classes.

VIII. An offering and a statistical report annually to the Sunday-school
Department of The American Christian Convention.

IX. Missionary contributions annually.

X. Representation in Convention and School of Methods.

When these requirements have been met and a report of the same, signed by
the superintendent and secretary of the school, approved by the pastor ; honorable
mention of the school will be made in the Officers and Teachers Journal and a
certificate will be issued by the Secretary of the Sunday-school Department,

WORLD'S SUNDAY=SCHOOL CONVENTION

On the twentj'-second day of June, 1013, S. Q. Helfenstein set sail on the
Scotian from Montreal to attend the World's Sunday-school Convention at Zurich.

Switzerland. During the voyage two sessions of Sun-
day-school workers were held daily. The meetings
were of great interest and the delegates received much
benefit therefrom. He reached Zurich, together with
other delegates on the Scotian, Monday, July 7, and
attended the reception in the afternoon of Tuesday at
two o'clock, and the opening session of the Convention
in Music Hall at 4 : 30 in the afternoon, and the wel-
come service Tuesday evening at 7 : 30. Then he
attended the main service which was held in Music
Hall on each of the succeeding seven days of the Con-
vention, and one of the four simultaneous sessions
s. ft. Heifeusteiii ^^ ^^^ afternoon of each day, and the evening sessions

at the Town Hall. The Convention sought to promote
the missionary idea in the Sunday-school and to emphasize the Sunday-school
idea in missionary fields, and if the interest manifested in each of these subjects
may be taken as a criterion, the work of the Sunday-school Convention at Zurich
was a great success. The reports of the five great commissions, that had worked
during the triennium, were a source of encouragement and inspiration. His re-
ports as given in The Herald show that he, at least, appreciated the privilege of
attending the Convention.

If (he lecent International Christian Endeavor Convention, held at Los
Angeles, California, July 9-14, is any index to the permanence and importance ol
the movement. Christian Endeavor is here to stay. Dr. Francis E. Clark, presi-
dent of the World's Christian Endeavor Union, in his opening address to the
Board of Trustees, said, "Of all the thirty-three years of Christian Endeavor
work, the last four have been the best. Christian Endeavor in the United States.
Canada, and all the rest of the world, is now on a most substantial basis. Never
was the organization so potent, so influential in its field, so alert to find the best
things and the newest things and put them into practice for the propagation of
this great work." In a telegram to the Convention, expressing regret for his
enforced absence, Hon. William J. Bryan, Secrtary of State, said, "It is one of
our largest instrumentalities for Christian service, and I feel sure that its future
labors will far surpass its iwesent activities."

4« THE CHRISTIAN ANNUAL

The last four years have marked two great advance steps in Christian En-
deavor, the Increase Campaign and the Efficiency Campaign. The first of these
has added over 10,000 new societies to our ranks and the latter has materially
increased the working efficiency of the larger per cent, of the societies. The
experience of the past four years is a fair index of what can be hoped for in the
future. God's blessing is always upon any of our efforts to enlarge the scope of
our activities, if its issue is to be a larger working efficiency.

Thus our watch-cry for the next years to come is "Enlargement for
Efficiency." This is not to be a "Campaign," but a movement of growing force
and power thai shall gather strength in influence as the years go by.

AssLuning that the above program will be carried out iu Christian Endeavor
societies the world over during the coming years, what is to be the attitude of the
Christian Church? If this is a movement worth while, if it has merit, and has
passed the experimental and theoretical stage, certainly the people called Chris-
tians have a right to appropriate all the blessing and help that can come from such
a training school for its young people. If it is good enough for the best people
and the best churches in the world, it is worth while for the people whose plat-
form admits all Ihe followers of Jesus Christ, and makes Christian Character its
only test of Fellowship. At the very basis of Christian Endeavor are the funda-
mental principles for which our people have fought for 100 years, and we should
seek every advantage given by a movement that is so near akin to our own.

It is said that a few years ago, we had over 400 Christian Endeavor societies.
But for some cause, that number had been greatly reduced until we could get
reports from but about 190 societies. I am sure that did not adequately repre-
sent our real strength, even when the number was at the lowest mark. I have
made an effort to secure accurate information and reports as to our work, and
yet I am sure again that the number of societies reported in this Annual does
not represent our real strength. Quite a large number of societies have been
organized during the last year and our people have taken a renewed interest in
this important phase of Church life. Two hundred and twenty-one societies have
been reported and I am sure that there should be added to this number, quite a
'arge number that have not been reported.

In addition to the encouraging reports of enlargement, comes also word of
a continual growth of sentiment in favor of some necessary objective activity.
Mission Classes are being maintained in a very large number of societies. Sys-
tematic study of our mission fields has inspired an interest in some definite work
along missioi-ary lines. Several societies are sui^porting workers and stations
on the foreign field. Others are doing some efficient work at home. A very large
number of our societies have adopted the Efficiency Campaign plans of the
United Society and have developed a strong working force of young people, as
among the most efficient workers of the church.

We have nothing to discourage us, rather there is everything to indicate that
we are moving forward. Let us take courage and God will bless the effort Why
not have at least 300 societies by the time the Convention meets next October?

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Huntington, Ind., Oct. 31, 1913.
Brethren of the Christian Church:

The past year lias been one of severe misfortune to The Christian
Publishing Association. The terrible flood that engulfed the city of
Dayton, Ohio, last March, carried great loss to our Publishing House. This
great calamity has been felt, in a measure, by the membership of the Christian
Church, but only the few who wei"e in that terrible flood fully realized its
severity. Many have sympathized with the Association and our church body
in this adversity, but many have only known of it as a passing event and it
is a mere matter of history to them now.

We believe that the Church at large should have responded more liberally
by the way of patronizing our Publishing House. The Herald of Oospel
Liberty should be in every Christian home, not simply because it is our Church
publication, but because every member would be greatly benefited by reading it.
Our brethren were appealed to aid us by subscribing for The Herald. A few
responded, but many did not. We should be loyal to our own, we should
support our own, for if we do not, our publishing interests must suffer and
our Church as a whole will be injured and its efiiciency diminished. Our
people should look upon our publications as a matter of their own, and each
member, who is worthy to be called a member, should be willing and anxious
to give at least $1.50 per year for the sake of Christian literature and Christian
influence in his home. Secular literature, newspapers, and periodicals, are
found in practically every home in the land, but the most important literature,
that which educates the best side of our life, the moral and religious, is
sadly neglected and a dearth exists in the food for developing the most important
part of our beings. Our Church should awaken to the needs of the home,
for that which educates and ennobles young manhood and young womanhood.
We plead for a universal awakening among our people to the end that Christian
literature may be found as a regular weekly visitor in all our families.

Our Sunday-schools are generally loyal in using our own supplies, but a
few schools are not. Those that use other literature should drop it and

48 THE GHRISTIAN ANNUAL

be loyal to our own. We furnish good supplies for all schools that use the
international lessons. The schools that use the graded lessons can have these
supplies by ordering of our PUBLISHING HOUSE. We believe in the graded
lessons, but at the same time, there is little or no profit to the House in
handling them. The loss to the House by the adoption of the graded lessons
by our schools is and will be considerable, hence the greater need of ordering
all other papers and supplies from the House. Our profits in the past have
come very largely through our Sunday-school literature, this source of profit
is being curtailed and we must be more liberal in our Herald of Gospel Liberty
and book patronage, or we will not be prosperous.

Our new publication, The Officers and Teachers Journal, is valuable to
all teachers and officers. The articles upon Sunday-school work are of the
best and should be read and reread by all our teachers and officers. The
schools should order these for their officers and teachers, the little expended in
this way will be money well spent.

At the annual meeting of the Board of Trustees last January, we con-
gratulated ourselves that we had a good Publishing House worth $130,000.00
and WERE OUT OF DEBT. We planned for an enlarged sphere of usefulness.
The following plan for a PERMANENT CHURCH EXTENSION FUND was
adopted :

In view of the fact that the Lord has in these later years, blest The
Christian Publiahing Association with prosperity, enabling it to build and equip
a Publishing House valued at more than One Hundi'ed and Thirty Thousand
Dollars ($130.000.C0) and free from debt, your committee believes that this is an
opportune time to plan for a larger service in extending the kingdom of Jesus
Christ by establishing a permanent fund for this purpose under the name
of the Christian Church Extension Fund.

This fund shall be a permanent fund to be loaned to Christian churches
in cities or towns, for the purpose of aiding in the erection of permanent
houses of worship for such churches.

The loans shall be made at not to exceed three per cent. (3%) annual
interest and under such rules and regulations as may be required and adopted
by the Board of Trustees of The Christian Publishing Association.

EXTENSION FUND CEEATED

(a) This fund shall be started by setting aside for said purpose the net
amount from the Mary Geusel note, Four Hundred and Eighty-five Dollars
($485.00), and the amount from the Candace Witcher bequest of Three Hundred
and Forty-eight Dollars and Thirty-five Cents ($348.3.^).

(b) The Christian Publishing Association shall by its Board of Trustees
set aside for said fund each year at the annual meeting of the Board a sum
equal to twenty per cent. (20%) of the net profits of said Association for the
preceding year.

(c) All gifts, bequests, and legacies to said The Christian Publishing
Association from any and all sources not otherwise specifically given shall go
into the said The Christian Church Extension Fund.

(d) The Treasurer of The Christian Publishing Association shall be the
custodian of said fund and the bond of said Treasurer shall cover said fund,
as well as any other of the funds of the Association. Any and all amounts
of money in The Christian Church Extension Fund not loaned to churches, and
any and all amounts of money in the Emergency Fund, to be deposited by the
Treasurer and caused to earn as much interest as possible, the interest thus
earned to go into the fund earning it and become a part thereof.

The great flood disaster, by which the Publishing House lost approx-
imately $10,000.00, has temporarily placed the House out of the giving to
this fund, but the Board of Trustees is ready to receive gifts and bequests to

THE CHRISTIAN ANNUAL 4^

this fund, and those of our brethren who desire to aid in a permanent way
the cause of Christ through the Christian Church should correspond with the
president of the Association at Huntington, Indiana. A Church Extension Fund
has been sorely needed by the Christian Church for many years, a feasible
and permanent plan has been adopted. We appeal to the brotherhood to help
push it to early fruition.

The Board of Trustees in the past has demonstrated its ability to manage
the business of the Association economically and profitably and we believe it
can manage this new and important trust in a safe and sane manner to the
glory of God and the permanent good of the Christian Church. We plead for a
hearty cooperation of our brotherhood in this great enterprise of our Church
and a loyal support of all our people in building up our publishing business.

Faithfully your servant,

THE CHRISTIAN PUBLISHING ASSOCIATION.

O. W. Whitelock, President.

MISCELLANEOUS MATTER

EARLY CONFERENCE HISTORY

We are preserving in this issue of The Christian Annual a brief history .of
the organization of the several Christian conferences, as they now exist, and
also a mention of the name, and in some instances the date of the organization
of the various conferences which have existed, but are now extinct.

We have had on our conference roll, from first to last, the names of many
conferences which do not now appear.

During the first century of our history our records show the enrollment
of the following-named conferences, which are not now in existence :

Auglaize (Obio). organized August 11, 1838. New Brunswick, organized October 13, 1832.

1 have exhausted every means available to me in an effort to secure
information concerning these defunct conferences, but have not succeeded beyond
the information herein given.

Some of these conferences did good work while they lived, and made rich
contributions of men and influence to the kingdom of our Lord.

The lamented Thomas Holmes was ordained by the Huron Conference, and
remained a member of it for several years afterward. He was ordained at
Shettield, Ohio, where the conference met in 1844, the following-named ministers
ofliciating: Patrick Mallory, Levi Stickney, and Zera S. Vail.

May 27, 1912, Rev. Zenas A. Poste, of Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, wrote me
as follows:

Lewisbctrg, Pa., May 27, 1912.
Rev. J. b\ Burnett, D. D.:

Deab Beothek : — It may be that the following will give you the information
you desire regarding the Pennsylvania Conference. It was in the early
1870 to 1880, 1 believe, that ministers came to a number of the churches in that
conference, representing themselves to be ministers in the Christian Church.
They were received by the churches as supplies and pastors and in due time
— not a long time — led most of their churches into the Disciple Churcn. A
strong effort was made to capture the Lewisburg church, the church at Sweet
Valley, and one or two others. These churches resisted the efforts and continued

THE CHRISTIAN ANNUAL 51

loyal to the Pennsylvania Conference. At Sweet Valley, things occurred that
are even now shocking to think about.

The Disciples captured the meeting-house there and established their
services in it, but the members who were loyal to the Christian Church built a
larger and better home of worship, nearby, and have been the prosperous body
of the place. The three or four churches that were left in the Pennsylvania
Conference were not able to sustain it, and united with the New Jersey Christian
Conference.

The Philadelphia Conference was not able to sustain itself, and died. Some
of the churches that composed it lost existence and one or two may have been
taken into other religious bodies. These statements are, as I remember, and
have, since coming to Pennsylvania, been told regarding the two conferences.

There is no doubt of the correctness of my statements regarding the churches
of the Pennsylvania Conference. What I have written regarding the Phila-
delphia Conference is correct, I think, though my authority for the statements
is not as certain as that for the statements regarding the Pennsylvania Con-
ference.

The following valuable information is furnished me by Rev. Alva H. Morrill,
D. D., of Franklin, New Hampshire :

(1) Maine Central has become the Maine Conference, the Eastern merging
with it. This occurred quite a number of years ago.

(2) The Maine Western has been dead a longer time; I say, dead, for I
think it virtually had to give up as the churches died out, being very small,
and, possibly, if there was one or two left, they went to the Central. But I
think I have stated it about as it is.

(3) The New Hampshire Conference was a federation of the Rockingham
(its churches in New Hampshire), the Strafford, and the Merrimack, all the
churches of the two latter being in New Hampshire. Many years ago it was given
up as the other conferences did not think best to try to maintain a State organ-
ization. It was virtually a State association, only it had its life before
such associations were in vogue among us. You will understand that it was
composed of delegates from the three conferences, and not of any churches
directly.

(4) The Rhode Island and Connecticut, was merged in the Rhode Island
and Massachusetts more than twenty years ago. It was composed of a few
churches in Rhode Island, Westerly being one of them, if I remember rightly,
and three or four in eastern Connecticut, these later all died out, and the Rhode
Island churches went to the larger body.

(5) The Strafford, as many as twelve to fifteen years ago, merged in the
Rockingham Conference, except the Freedom, New Hampshire, church, which,
for convenience, went to the York and Cumberland.

(6) i'or quite a term of years the two Vermont Conferences were separate,
until only three or four churches remained in the Eastern, and then they were
merged, and the few remaining weak churches in the western territory died out,
and then, probably five years ago last fall, the remnant, three churches, united
with our Merrimack Conference, and now there are two of them on our roll.
Practically all the churches in these defunct conferences were in rural com-
munities, nearly all of them were always small, and were not able to give a
living salary. Depopulation of such communities has been one strong reason
for such decadence, and another has been the fact that there was little financial
strength, and when the change from farmer or other occupation preachers, who
provided themselves and families a living outside church help, to a ministry sup-
ported by the church, took place there was not financial ability to meet the
obligation.

The following information is kindly furnished me by Rev. W. V. Lucas, of
Santa Cruz, California :

The Iowa Conference was organized about 1850, by Stephen A. Bagley,
Wm. Bagley, W. C. Smith, Jas. N. Baker, and others. It embraced all the
eastern portion of the State from north to south, and west, as far as settlements

reached. About 1856, the iiauie was discontinued and the memberships divided
into two conferences, known as the Northeastern Iowa Christian Conference
and the Central Iowa Christian Conference. The Nortlieastern Conference
tlourished for some years and grew into a strong organization. The Civil War
seemed to paralyze all Christian work in the territory and a decline came upon
the organization which resulted in its extinction.

CENTKAIi ILLINOIS

The Central Illinois Conference was organized at the Union church, Vermil-
ion County, Illinois, Friday, September 24, 1S52. At the time of the organization
it was known as the "Illinois Central Conference."

The first president was Eleazer Purviance and the first secretary was James
A. Prather. The only officers of the first session of the conference were
president and vice-president.

There were three oi'dained ministers reported at the first session: William
Cunningham, Isaac Emley, Isaac N. BuUington. The licentiates were : Nelson
Madden and Alfred Atwood.

There were six churches represented, with a total membership of 416.
According to the church report the conference included territory in western
Indiana. One of the churches mentioned is the Grand Prairie church in Warren
County, with a membership of 175. The smallest church in the conference had
a membership of 40. No Sunday-schools reported.

1. Resolutions were adopted which are the same as the principles now em-
phasized by the Christian Church everywhere.

2. A resolution was adopted to the effect that the subject of "secret socie-
ties" should not be discussed on the conference floor.

3. That each church report to conference the moral standing of its minister.
Elder Wilkins was present at the first session of the conference and was

received as a member at the second session.

CENTRAL INDIANA

The Central Indian Christian Conference was organized in "Old Father"
Steinbarger's barn in Bartholomew County, Indian.i, near to where the "Old"
Union Church now stands, in the year 1824.

In 1850 this conference and the Union Indiana Conference met in joint
session and were merged into one body to be known as the Central Indiana
Christian Conference. The Union Conference had been organized on May
15, 1846. Rev. Thomas Carr was the first president of the united bodies and
Rev. J. B. Robertson, the first secretary. At the time of the union of the two
bodies there were twenty-three ministers and nineteen churches in its membership.

The records prior of 1850 are not in existence.

Rev. Thoinas Carr was the first president of the Union Conference and Wm.
P. Anderson the first secretary.

DEL]>tARVIA AND PENNSYLVANIA

The Delmarvia and Pennsylvania Conference was or'ganized June 1. 1912.
Rev. W. W. Staley, D. D., president Southern Christian Convention, assisted in the
organization. The following-named ministers and churches constituted the char-
tfer membership : Rev. A. W. Lightbourne, D. D.. Rev. M. W. Butler, Rev. George

Its boundaries are the Atlantic Ocean on the south, the Chesapeake Bay on
the west, the Delaware Bay on the east, and those portions of Pennsylvania
and New Jersey immediately contiguous to Delaware on the north and east.

EEL RIVER

The Eel River Christian Conference was organized in a barn in Eel River
Township, Indiana. August 26, 1S44.

The first president was Rev. A. Baldwin and the first secretary was W. B.
Wade.

Hon. O. W. Whitelock has served this conference as president without break
since 1882, and J. F. Barnes has been secretary for sixteen years.

fully and thoroughly each and every detail of its life, and to it all persons are
referred for full and particular information.

A RELIC FROM CANE RIDGE

In 1898 I wrote to J. R. Rogers of Cane Ridge, Kentucky, to know if there
was an obtainable relic of the original Cane Ridge meeting-house. Mr. Rodgers
kindly and promptly wrote me inclosing a small wooden pin, which held a clap-
board on the original roof of the meeting-house.

I have the pin and letter, of which the above is a likeness, and prize them
very highly, j p. BURNETT.

chosen president and David Bishop (father of Rev. J. G. Bishop) secretary. On
the occasion of its organization it adopted the name the Western Iowa Christian
Conference. In 1S56 the session was held at Winterset and the name changed to
Des Moines Christian Conference.

In the first session three churches were represented, viz. : North River, Win-
terset, and Middle River.

The following-named ministers were present : A. D. Kellison, David Bishop,
Andrew Surbur, and Lewis C. Bishop.

In the year 1855, while the conference was in session in Winterset, J. G.
Bishop, now of Dayton, Ohio, was made a licentiate member, being ordained

ERIE CONFERENCE

The Erie Conference first assembled at Ellington chuich, N. Y., September
9, 1831 (the history of the organizing is not recorded). Elder Joseph Bartlet
was chosen speaker, or moderator (president), and Elder Elisha Beardsley was
appointed clerk of the conference.

There were twelve ordained ministers, and a few unordained (the number
not given). The number of churches was twenty-one.

Agreement. We do not consider a conference aiithorized to bind or restrict
the faith of any man, but to confer together for the general good of Zion.

Purpose. To combine strength; to contend for the faith once delivered to
the saints ; to preach unto the people that gospel which teaches men to obey
God, to follow Christ, to love one another, to live quiet and peaceable lives with
all men, and hope unto the end for the grace that is to be first unto them at the
revelation of Jesus Christ.

Statement. We are aware that we are numbered with that people that is
everywhere spoken against — every inch of ground we take is disputed. But
while the gospel affords us armor, and the God of Israel gives us strength, we
are determined never to submit to sectarian bondage. Finally, it may be said
that this conference is in a prosperous condition.

KANSAS STATE

The Kansas State Christian Conference was organized at a convention called
for that purpose at Madison, Greenwood County, Kansas, November 3, 1 SSI.

The first ofiicers were : Rev. Isaac Mooney, President ; Martin Ellis, Vice-

The above-named persons, with J. J. Hillman, W. K. Stamp, and E. Martin-
dale, composed the first Board of Trustees.

It was the purpose of this Conference to found a school in Kansas, which
was finally realized in the founding of Kansas Christian College at Lincoln,
Kansas, in 3884.

KENTUCKY

FoNTANA, Kentucky, August 4, 1913.
Rev. J. F. Burnett, Dayton, Ohio.

Deae Bkotheb : — On failing to obtain a part of my records from Rev, L. H.
Forrest, as I wrote he had of mine, I will give you the truth, and nothing but the
truth, as for our records having to omit some days of months.

56 THE CHRISTIAN ANNUAL

The Kentucky Christian Conference organized in 1804, Big Sandy Christian
Conference about the same date.

The Kentucky Christian Conference and the Middle Kentucky Christian
Concord, Elliott County, Kentucky, for convenience, and it was considered that
there was but one conference in Kentucky.

The Kentucky Christian Conference and the Middle Kentucky Christian
Conference consolidated into one conference at Kings Chapel, October 23, 1890,
to be known as the State Kentucky Christian Conference, and districted the
territory, the Kentucky Christian Conference bounds being District No. 1, and
part of the bounds of the Middle Kentucky Christian Conference being No. 2.
Also District No. 1 is entitled to the date 1804. as that was the original
Kentucky Christian Conference, and District No. 2 is entitled to date August,
1871, because that was the Middle Kentucky Christian Conference, and what is
now called the Kentucky Christian Conference only entitled dating September,
1906, as that was the fractional part of District No. 1, that withdrew from the
State Kentucky Christian Conference, at Fults, Kentucky, 1905.

I remain, truly yours, Robert Gee.

rLLINOIS

The Illinois Christian Conference was organized out of a part of what was
once the Southern Indiana and Illinois Conference. For various reasons it was
thought best to divide the conference and make the State line (the Big "Wabash
Kiver), the line.

After the division wa.s brought about, in a meeting held in the new church
at Cynthiana, Indiana, the Indiana side was permitted to keep the old name,
with the exception that the name Illinois was stricken out. Then the churches
on the Illinois side met with the Sims church, on August 24 to 26, 1905, inclusive.
Its first ofBcials were as follows : President, Rev. A. II. Bennett ; Vice-President,
Rev. R. .1. Ellis: Secretary and Treasurer, Prof. A. W. Hausser.

The following ministers were charter members of the conference:
Ordained— A. II. Bennett, R. .7. Ellis, J. M. Davis, D. G. Vint, Mahlon Smith.
Licentiate — J. L. Underwood.

Pleasant Hill, Pleasant Union, Poplar, Parish, Richland, Sims, and Union Grove.

INDIANA »nA3n RESERVE

In the early fifties there existed in Indiana a conference the name of which
is not known to the writer of this article.

The records show that on Friday before the first Sabbath in October, 1852,
the Little Wild Cat Christian Conference met with the Little Wild Cat Christian
church of Tipton County, Indiana, with Brother I. H. Marshal, as moderator,
and I. B. Fanchier, secretary.

Members present that were elders as follows : I. H. Marshall and A. Cole.
Licentiate, John Poff.

At this session of conference a motion was properly seconded and adopted
to read as follows :

"That all ordained ministers of the gospel that are not belonging to any
secret society that are in good standing in their own denomination also licentiate
elders and messengers of churches be invited to a seat in council with us."

THE CHRISTIAN ANNUAL 57

Before this date (October, 1S52) this conference was called by some, Union
Christian Conference, which caused dissatisfaction among some of the brethren,
but from this time (October 1, 1852) it was known as the Little Wild Cat Chris-
tian Conference.

Charter members : Revs. Ebal Teters, Geo. Bosley, John Spencer, Wm. Poff,
Christian Smith. Churches : Little Wild Cat, Burlington, Thocom, Indian
Prairie, Tipton County, Wild Cat Prairie, Harmony, Grant County.

From October, 1S56, this conference was to be known by the name of the
Indiana Miami Reserve Christian Conference, with Brother A. Cook, moderator,
and Brother I. B. Fanchier, secretary.

In 1856, this conference had ten churches and 2.35 members enrolled. It
now has an enrollment of twenty-nine churches and 1,804 members.

MAINE

The Maine Christian Conference was organized at Pittsfield, Me., August
8, 1895. It constitutes a union of what was the Maine Eastern and the Maine
Central Conferences.

MERRIMACK

The conference was organized at Franklin, N. H., Nov. 6, 1832. Elder
Benjamin Calley, of Sanbornton, was chosen to preside over the first meeting,
and Elder Asa C. Morrison, of Lowell, Mass., was chosen clerk.

This organization was effected agreeably with action of the New Hampshire
Christian Conference, which at its last session had arranged for the organiza-
tion of County conferences. Proceeding to ascertain what preachers and
churches should properly be embraced in this county organization, the following^
named ministers, beside the two officers already mentioned, were decided to be
members, viz. : Nehemiah D. Sleeper, Andover, N. H. ; Joseph E. Fellows,
Andover ; Edward Webber, Rumney ; John Harriman, Canterbury ; John Gilling-
ham, Bradford; and Timothy Cole, Lowell, Mass. Unordained, Gilman F. San-
born, itinerant. Charles Baker, of Concord, was received into membership at
this session as an unordained preacher.

The churches reported at this session as members of the conference were :
Andover, 87 members; Bradford, 60 members; Danbury, number of members
not given ; Franklin, 80 members ; Springfield, 49 members ; Concord, 40 mem-
bers; Grafton, 27 members.

At the close of this session there were ten ministers, and seven churches,
with 343 members.

In ten years the conference had grown to twenty-two churches, twenty of
them reporting a membership of 1,259, with sixteen ordained ministers, and six
unordained. Only eight of the twenty-two churches are still in existence.

MIAMI OHIO

The Miami Ohio Christian Conference was organized in a private house
in Pleasant Hill, Ohio, in September, 1819. Samuel Kyle, Levi Purviance,
Abraham Suethen, David Pur^aance, John Williams, Richard Simonton, Nathan
Worley, George Shidelor, Caleb Worley, and Thomas Kyle were present at the
organization as Christian ministers, and it may be safe to say these became
charter members of the conference. But little definite information concerning

58 THE CHRISTIAN ANNUAL

who the fii'st officers were can be given. The earlj' records of the conference
unfortunately have been lost. The conference has enrolled among itsi members
some of the ablest and most active ministers of the Chricstian denomination in
Ohio. A full history will be prepared for its Centennial Celebration in 1919.
It now has fifty-five ministers on roll and fifty-eight churches. It is organized
with secretaries for the various departments.

Marshall, Michigan, on the second Wednesday in January, 1864. Rev. L. J.
Wicker was elected president, and Rev. C. B. Taylor secretary. This conference
took the place of the Michigan State Conference, and the Michigan Christian
Missionary and Aid Society were also merged into the new organization.

MT. VERNON

The Mt. Vernon (Ohio) Christian Conference was organized August, 1841,
by a division of the Ohio Central.

The division grew out of a continued insistence by Rev. I. N. Walter that
the conference should take up the work of missions, education, etc., which were
at that time neglected by the conference. He held with others that such work
could be better done by two small conferences than by one large one. Hebson
and Hartford were two of the first churches composing the conference, both of
which have ceased their activities as Christian churches. At both these places
the Disciples have thriving organizations. Rev. H. R. Clem,' secretary of the
conference, had made a gavel from a timber of the old church at Hartford, which
he presented to the conference. The old church is now (1913) used for a hay-
barn. Among the early ministers of the Mt. Vernon Conference were I. N.
Walter, J. W. Marvin, Samuel Marvin, Daniel (Daddy) Long, James Hays, and
Joseph Mclnturf.

RHODE ISLAND AND MASSACHUSETTS

The Rhode Island and Massachusetts Conference was the result of a union
of two conferences. In a historical sketch written at the time of the fiftieth
anniversary, it was said that the first conference was believed to have been
organized in 1S07, at New Bedford, Massachusetts, but that body appears to have
become extinct because of withdrawals on account of anti-slavery feeling, and
general causes.

In 1833, on October 8th, at Long Plain, Fairhaven, was organized the Rhode
Island Conference, consisting of six ministers, and having Luther Baker as
moderator, and John Taylor as secretai-y.

In June, 1837, the name of the conference was so modified as to connect
"Massachusetts with Rhode Island."

Sometime earlier than this was organized the Connecticut Conference, the
date unknown, the earliest record telling of a regular session held in Coventry,
Rhode Island, on June 15, 1827, with Elder Alfred Burnham as chief speaker
and Samuel Hopkins as clerk.

A few years later the name was changed to Rhode Island and Connecticut
Conference, because of the number of churches located in Rhode Island. In
that body, E. W. Barrows acted as clerk for twenty-nine successive years.

On September 14, 1875, a union was effected of the two conferences, under
the name of the Rhode Island and Massachusetts Conference. This meeting was
held in the Broad Street Christian church, Providence, R. I., and the officers in-
cluded J. W. Osborn, president; C. A. Tilliughast, secretary and treasurer, with
such well-known names as Wm. Miller, I. H. Coe, B. S. Batchelor, H. M. Eaton,
O. A. Roberts, and N. S. Chadwick, filling the committees.

WESTERN ILLINOIS

The Western Illinois Christian Conference was organized at Pilot Grove
Christian church, Hancock County, October 2, 1857, by Elder John McMillen.

The Spoon River Conference was organized at Highland, Pike County, 111.,
May 21, 1840, by Elders David Roberts and John Scott.

On September 4, 1864, these two conferences were united and have been
«ince known as the Western Illinois Christian Conference.

WESTERN INDIANA

The first conference record dates 1840, and was held under the name of
the Coal Creek Christian Conference. The records for ten years previous,
commencing 1830, were either lost, or not kept; yet it is well authenticated that
regular sessions were held in an organized business manner and good results
attained.

The meeting in 1840 was held June 15, in Fountain County. Name of
church not given. Deacon Ira Smith, of Lafayette, was president, and probably
James L. McKinney was secretary, his name being signed to the session of 1841.

The ordained elders at the session of 1840 were Joseph Jackson, William
Hole, John P. Martin, David Hays, Alexander Briggs, John Dudley, Adam
Thomas, and James McKinney.

The unordained were Joel Thomas, John Hicks, William Lane, William
Snethen, and James Lee. Joel Thomas and John Hicks were ordained at this
meeting. Eleven churches were reported by .letter and three verbally. At the
session in 1854, R. M. Thomas was elected secretary and served more than forty
years.

At this session, 1854, on motion of Elder James McKinney, "agreed to ap-
prove of a Home Mission Society." They also agreed that the president,
"Brother Ira Smith, attend to the printing and distributing of the minutes."

THE CHRISTIAN ANNUAL 67

The name of the conference was changed from the Coal Creek Christian
Conference to the Western Indiana Christian Conference in 1852.

Rev. A. R. Heath, at the session, 1896, suggested a committee to
inquire into the early history of the conference, stating that he felt quite sure
there were three or four sessions prior to 1830.

Brother Heath was appointed a committee, and after a careful inquiry, re-
ports that by very reliable proof it can be abundantly proven that four sessions
were held prior to 1830. He says, one. Elder Watson Clark, now living in
Covington in the eighty-fourth year of his age, says that his father, Elder Isaac
Clark, came to Fountain County, Indiana, in 1826; that Elder John Scott, the
pioneer of Scotts Prairie, and Elder John Hibbs, came as early as 1823; Elder
William Hole in 1824; Elders John P. Martin, and Daniel Trullinger in 1825;
Elders James and Solomon McKinney, John Dudley, and Alexander Briggs, in
1826 ; all of whom probably attended the first session, which is claimed was held
in August, that year, 1826, in the form of a camp-meeting on the farm of Jere-
miah Heath, the father of Brother Heath. The meeting was called the Coal
Creek Christian Conference. The marks of auger holes on the sugar trees to
support the lights, are now visible to mark this sacred place.

WESTERN NORTH CAROMNA

The Western North Carolina Christian Conference was organized at Shiloh
Christian church, Randolph County, North Carolina, November 9, 1894, Rev.
J, W. Patton was chosen president ; J, U. Cagle, secretary ; with Rev. C. C. Peel,
assistant. There were enrolled fourteen ministers and thirty-nine churches.

The circumstances of the organization are as follows. In November, 1893,
the Deep River Christian Conference, in its twenty-seventh annual session,
decided to unite with the North Carolina and Virginia Christian Conference,
with the understanding that the then united body should be divided satisfac-
torily. This union and division was accomplished and at Shiloh Christian
church, Randolph Co., North Carolina, the conference met on the eighth day of
November, 1894, under the name of the Deep River Conference, in its twenty-
eighth annual session, and on the second day of this session the name of
the body was changed from the Deep River Christian Conference to that of the
Western North Carolina Christian Conference, to take effect at the adjournment
of that session.

THE FLOOD OF MARCH, NINETEEN THIRTEEN

To preserve the story of the terrible floods which swept the Miami Valley
in Ohio, the territory of ihe White and other rivers in Indiana, and the Ohio
River districts in March, 1913, is the purpose of the following articles.

THE FLOOD IN THE ]\nAl\n VALLEY — DAYTON

By J. F. Burnett

All day Sunday and Monday, and all through Monday night, March 23d and
24th, the rain continued to fall — at times in torrents — and the Miami River
and all its tributaries were filled to overflowing.

Early Tuesday morning, March 25th, danger signals were given and the
city of Dayton thoroughly aroused to the threatening calamity.

By ten o'clock of that day the Miami River was full three miles wide — east
and west — and on the main streets of the city from twelve to eighteen feet deep,
and as it swept on in its wild, raging, rushing, roaring, seething, maddening,
deafening, boiling, swirling way a horror seized the stoutest hearts, and a trem-
bling like that which smote the king in the midst of his revelry took fast hold
upon all. No one can describe the wild scenes, and awful experiences of those
long drawn out hours when the water came creeping, creeping, slowly, but stead-
ily creeping up the stairway toward the last dry spot beneath the roof, and
nothing outside but the black waters, the falling rain and the red glare of burn-
ing buildings, the gloom of which would be momentarily forgotten when the wild
mad cry for help fell upon the ear, the very tone of which would pierce the soul
through and through, and especially so, when one realized one's self powerless
to help.

The heavy and long continued rainfall had filled to overflowing all the nat-
ural and artificial water channels, and was straining the levies of the Great
Miami, for hours before the overflow, while scores of small streams were pouring
their swelling tides into it, until with a roar like the opening of the gates of
the Inferno, the waters leaped over the most formidable barriers, and broke
through the impaired levies, and with the frenzy of a famished leopard spring-
ing into a defenseless sheepfold, the mighty whirlwind of water swept with
resistless force through the streets of the city on its errand of destruction.

"And like a horse unbroken.
"When first it feels the rein,
The furious river struggled hard.
And tossed its tawny mane,
And burst the curb and bounded.
Rejoicing to be free.
And whirling down in mad career.
Battlements, and plank and pier.
Rushed headlong to the sea."

In the early morning one might have seen hundreds of people on the streets
of the city — there seems no thought of danger — but In a few minutes that

careless stream of people has changed to a white-faced, frightened, bewildered
throng, frantically seeking refuge from an awful fate that has stolen on them
unaware.

People dodged into doorways, and onto anything that was higher than the
street. Every loose thing began to float down the streets, horses were swept oflf
their feet, wagons were overturned, houses washed from their foundations, great
blocks of pavements were torn up, plate glass was smashed into bits, families
clung to the rafters of their attics, others broke through the roof and sat all
night in the rain on tops of houses, buildings collapsed, men, women, and chil-
dren sat all night in total darkness, shivering in cold; some were three days
and nights in rooms without fire and with but little to eat, separated from their
loved ones, and not knowing but that they had perished.

One cannot tell of the desolation, the sorrow, the suffering, the anxiety, the
death, the horror, and the pathos of that wild and dreadful destructive event.
No, no, no, though my pen were that of a ready writer, I should even then have
to close this article saying that the half had not been told, of that hideous pano-
rama which blinded the eye and froze the heart, for all the hours that the
waters tossed and tumbled about in their merciless embrace of human lives and
property. But the worst sight of all, was the many fires that broke out during
the time, especially at night. Oh, the horror of it all seems now like a
dreadful nightmare. It makes one's blood nearly curdle to think of it.

All night long the lurid flames could be seen shooting heavenward, while
sheets of fire were wrapping in destructive embrace the result of many years of
toil and economy. One's feelings were intensified at the thought that they could
not help, and especially so when they remembered that within those crumbling
walls were many valuable possessions and precious lives, not one of which could
possibly survive the awful catastrophe.

It was an indescribable tragedy, relieved only by the heroic rescuers, and
the generous hospitality of those who came down to the very edge of the water
to offer help, food, clothing, home, and shelter, to the thousands whom the flood
had reduced to wreckage.

Amidst it all the spirit of our Lord was present everywhere. No political
or religious lines were drawn, or even thought of, and all denominational pecu-
liarities were forgotten by even the most radical. No social distinction obtained
in any quarter.

There were but two classes — the one needing help, and the one willing and
ready to help.

Home, food, shelter, medicine, nursing, attention, service, were the ruling
passion of all. The quickness, and completeness which characterized the co-
operation for the relief of the suffering will remain a marvel forever.

Churches, schoolhouses, home — poor and palatial — were thrown open to
those in distress. Hospitals were quickly improvised, cots and beds put into
factories, and the sick and injured were carefully and lovingly provided for.
There sprang into life in every section of the city relief organizations of the
most effective kind. Most naturally the capable men and women came to the
front. Committees were hurriedly thrown together, volunteers were given tasks,
the selfish and sordid man was driven to duty, the tongue of the grouch sealed
between his lips, and the work of rescue and relief took form quite speedily,
and bec^pie ma^velously effective in a very short time. Too much capnot be

said of the heroic young men of Dayton, who worked in the gloom, in the rairj,
in dangerous places, often risking their own Uves that others might be saved.

In the midst of the fire and flood, the water and gas were shut off, the
electric lights winked out, and the whole city was in total darkness, except for
a few lanterns which now and then greeted the eye as their feeble flare flickered
in the midst of the gloom.

For about six weeks the city was under strict military government, and the
business section of the city resembled a cross between a military camp and a
frontier mining town.

Our own Publishing House, and the First Christian church of the city
suffered very greatly, requiring much hard labor and several thousand dollars to
put them in order and restore them to their original condition. It should be said

here that our own people responded quite generously to the appeal for help, and
the church received nearly $2,000.00 from friends and churches, and the Pub-
lishing House was stimulated by many new subscribers to The Herald of Gospel
Liberty, and many renewals, and some free-will offerings from indi\iduals and
societies.

The following-named officers and employees of The American Christian Con-

The National Cash Register Company served two thousand, seven hundred

Sixteen thousand sandwiches were made daily and served to men doing relief
work.

Two thousand, five hundred baskets were given out each day to needy
families.

Every room in the Miami Valley Hospital was filled with patients and still
the cry for help was not met.

Whole farms in the line of the flood were stripped of their buildings, their
stock, and their soil, and In turn were covered with gravel and stone, making
them like the beds of creeks.

Twenty-six cities and towns were affected by the flood and the Governor of
the State traveled ten days in visiting them and providing relief.

A PERSONAIi EXPERIENCE IN DAYTON

From au article written by Judge Walter D. Jones, of Piqua, Ohio, and
printed in The Herald of Gospal Liherty, I have taken the following description
of a Dayton scene. The Judge's experience and the scene he describes were many
times duplicated during the rise and fall of the water.

I reached Dayton Monday night on my way home, to tind traflic suspended
on the cars "till morning," it was said. Remaining at the Beckel Hotel over-
night, I went to the D. & T. office about 7 : 30. I waited a little while. "Nothing

doing yet," said some one, pleas-
antly. I thought I would go back
to the hotel lobby. It must have
beeta nearly eight o'clock.

As I stepped on the sidewalk a
rush of water came down the
center of Jefferson Street. At
the first sight it looked as though
a fire hydrant might have been
opened.

For a moment I was more
curious than alarmed. I walked
on to the hotel, and the water
covered the street and began to
lap over the curb on the side-
walk. I went in, and told the
clerk I would retaiti my room a
while longer. The elevator was
not running and I hurried up the
stairs, intending to leave my satch-
el and coat in the room, and re-
turn to see the strange sight. I be-
gan to think there might be some
serious inconvenience coming.
I entered the room, dropped my coat and bag, and looked out of the
window. It had been as in Jean Ingelow's poem.

The Publishing House To-day

"The heart had hardly time to beat
Before a shallow, seething wave
Sobbed on the ground beneath our feet.
The feet had hardly time to flee
Before it broke against the knee,
And all the world was in the sea."

A seething, foaming torrent was rolling down Jefferson Street.

Before the mind could grasp what had happened, a horrible crash sounded,
apparently beneath me, the floor vibrated beneath my feet, and plastering
commenced to drop from the ceiling. Women's screams sounded from the
next room. I sprang to my door. It would not open. But I heard men's
voices outside, and I shouted to them to throw their weight against the door,
and they did so promptly, and by doing so saved me the horror of being
entrapped on the fourth floor of a sinking building. The occupants of several
adjoining rooms were released in the same manner. Walls were cracking and
trembling and plastering falling. Some one shouted, "Fire!" but was sternly
silenced. We fled down the stairs, joined on every floor by ashen-faced men
and women. It was the only time there was the semblance of a panic, and
that was over in a moment. I think all must have realized, as did I, something
awful but unexplained had happened and our lives might depend on keeping
cool and quiet.

When we reached the second floor the office, that I had just quitted, was
filling with a mass of muddy, black water that roared as it poured in and

80 THE CHRISTIAN ANNUAL

rapidly mounted the stairs. It was evident that the only exit from the house
was through the second-story windows.

Something awful had happened, and something worse might follow it as
suddenly. And ten minutes before we had all been so secure, and we had
never thought that in the midst of life we are in death.

Before noon on Tuesday, Jefferson and Third Streets were raging, roaring
torrents of a depth of twelve to fourteen feet. It seems to me that the main
current of the Miami River must have been diverted through the principal
streets of Dayton. The store-rooms opposite us filled to the ceilings. Down
both streets poured a mass of drift, now a lot of chairs, now counters, shelving,
barrels, boxes, crates of fruit from some grocery ; several pianos, piles of lumber,
and, worst of all, every few minutes some struggling, drowning horse. Some
of the wreckage drifted clear, some struck poles or street lights and broke
into fragments, some was hurled against and shattered the plate-glass windows
of streets. It was a sickening sight of ruin and destruction.

In the rear of the hotel was a small court, where a score or more of horses,
released from a neighboring stable, were struggling frantically and from
time to time succumbing and dying.

The rooms on the third floor, directly under the one I had occupied, liad
fallen clear through to the basement, leaving a horrible gap. My room had
sunken, but not fallen. A jewelry salesman said his trunks, with $30,000
worth of goods in them, went down with the lower room. It is not certain
yet whether the accident was due to the water undermining the walls, or to
the explosion of a small boiler in the basement.

All day long we sat on the second floor and watched the horrible muddy
flood and the dreadful drift. The first rush of the waters came half way up the
store fronts before any one could realize it, then came the slower, but steady
mounting, and there was a dreadful fascination, watching the creeping upward,
inch by inch, selecting some mark and watching it until submerged.

There was fortunately considerable food on the second floor, though but
little drinking water. The managers of the Beckel thought there would be
provisions enough, with economy, to carry us through, and humanely they shared
this with all in the house, without distinction between guests and refugees.

We made and enforced a peremptory order that not a match should be
struck in the house. From the very first the dread of fire was on the heart of
every one. One fellow tried to light a pipe, but was properly taken care of.
We had, as far, as I know, no other such creature among us.

As night drew on, and the water still slowly rose, the horror of darkness
was upon us — ominous cracking sounded from the broken east wall and many
clambered, while there was light, to the buildings on the west for greater
security. . I secured a chair in an insurance office. There were five people
there who had been caught while at work. They were very kind to me, as I
shall never forget.

The night was an absolutely sleepless one, and in one or two directions fire
could be seen but at a distance.

We had hoped that by Wednesday the flood would be subsiding as rapidly
as it came, but when the seemingly interminable night was ended, we were
sickingly disappointed to find that though there was a decline, it was but small
indeed. It is said that the waters rose till three a. m.

We all filed into the dining-room in the morning, and thankfully received a
portion of cold meat and fried potatoes, and. what was most grateful, a glass
of water and a cup of coffee.

There was a doleful view of such stores as Kirby's, Hunter & Hardie's, the
Surprise, in fact, everything on Third Street, with the black water washing up
to the ceilings. At almost every mndow we could see anxious, drawn faces
of people marooned like ourselves. There were no shouts or calls for help,
for every one knew that no help could come. In the Beckel people talked but
little, and in low voices. Some one went around and secured a list of all
our names. There were about 100 guests. "May be useful when it comes to
identify remains," said one man grimly, and actually there was a general
hoarse laugh, though no one took it as a joke. Then all was silent but the
awful roar of the water.

a:HE CHRISTIAN ANNUAL 81

"Will try to give a lunch at four o'clock," was the announcement, "and
that will be all we can give to-day." It was never given.

Another loud crash brought every one to his feet. A drug store half a
square away had collapsed. We saw some of it float away, but did not dream
of what this accident meant to us.

Still another crash, and a man on the opposite roof called over that three
buildings on Main Street, just south of the Phillips Hotel, had gone down.

We had almost ceased to note time, but 1 think it was 1:30 Wednesday
afternoon, a man near me said in a low voice, "What if a fix'e breaks out."

"Oh, merciful God. there it is !" came the response.

A column of flames shot into the air like a towering beacon of death not
o-ver 300 feet from us. A blaze from the ruins of the drug store had entered
the next building. *

In this block immediately east of us were many inflammable stocks of goods,
including three wholesale liquor stores, whose contents, when ignited, would
be liquid fire. Not a hand would lift to fight the flames, which must spread,
unchecked by human means. This meant that when the corner was reached,
the leaping of the street l>y the flames and the destruction of the Beckel House,
followed by that of the whole block, was apparently ine\itable.

There was a hurried, whispered consultation, but only for a moment. We
must get as far away as possible from the fire, if only to prolong life.

Then began a remarkable march of retreat. Some two or possibly three
hundred persons clambered, climbed, and crawled from one end of the square
on Third Street, from Jefferson to Main. Just how it was done, in every
particular, probably no one can ever tell. We got out on the roof of the
Beckel Annex. We went up and down fire escapes. We cautiously crossed
frail-looking skylights. We scaled . fire-wall.s. We tpok ladders along, and
from slippery roofs got to open windows, passed through buildings, and from
windows to roofs again. We reached a ten-foot alley. A ladder was pushed
across it to the next building and we crawled over, one at a time. This was
done by men, women, and by one or two children. It was a journey for life,
but it was not a mad flight. It was done quickly, tut quietly, and each helped
the other. Among those taken out safely was a woman with a broken arm,
and Mr. Bennett, the proprietor of the hotel, was carried from his dying bed.

All made the perilous journey safely. That most of us could even
attempt it, is simply because it was a dash for life.

At the Main Street end of the siiuare we could go no farther and we
dispersed into different parts of the Callahan Building and that just adjoining.

Our situation was this: There was the possibility at any moment of the
building, as we had seen others do, collapsing, and entombing us. A few hundred
feet behind us, and moving steadily in our direction, was a roaring, leaping
pillar of flame, devouring everything before it. In front of us was the black,
hideous, di'ift-fllled currenr, in which it seemed hopeless for a stout swimmer
to venture. But if one could pass through icy water and escape with life for
the moment, there would be no heat, no di-y clothing, no succor, and it would
seem that the exposure would be hardly less swiftly fatal than that by fire or
drowning.

Death threatening in every one of four forms, and no one failed to realize it.

What little might be done was done. Two men managed to cut a cable
in the elevator shaft. We were in the second story of the Callahan Building,
opposite the old court house, where was some open ground around, where one
might be comparatively safe. One end of the wire rope was made fast
to our building and on a rude kind of scow, it was managed to float the other
across the streets where it was caught and secured. The scow upset and that
was the last I saw of it. One man came up in a boat and helped a little
with the rope, but could not, or would not stay, and his craft whirled away
on the current ; that was the only boat we saw during the flood.

The life-line was stretched, and three or four of the strongest managed to
work their way hand over hand on it, across to the court house. They were almost
torn from it and in each instance were up to their necks in water, drenched and
icy cold, and dropping with exhaustion when they had crossed. It was evident

82 THE CHRISTIAN ANNUAL

that this way of escape would avail very few while the high water and mill-race
current continued.

There were twenty-five or thirty people in the two rooms we occupied, and
also one horse, that in some way had gotten in. Of our party about ten were
women, and one mother sat quietly with fixed, drawn face, and clasped firmly
in her arms a little boy of seven or eight years. The child clung to his mother
and tried to be, and was, brave. Once in a while a tear trickled down his face,
but tie mother never wept.

We were in the cruel position that while we could see the reflection of the
fire, and watch the horrible drifting smoke and sparks, it was behind us, and
we could not see just what it was doing, but had to depend on what was
shouted to us from those on other buildings.

As night approached, most of the men drew together, and a whispered
conference was had. Every one believed that the fire would sooner or later
reach the Beckel, and when that was done it was only a question of a few
hours, or even less, when it would be upon us. Nearly every one who expressed

Dayton— -Rear of Pressley Zarfmann's Home

himself thought it almost certain that we had but a few hours to live, unless
some miracle delivered us. This was my opinion and that of Mr. Marshall.

It was decided that when the fire reached the next building to us that we
should divide into parties of three — two men to each woman — try to hold on
to our frail line, and commit our bodies to the rushing water and our souls
to God.

There was no question but that the woman and child must have the first
chance, but the trouble was to see any chance for any one.

Darkne.ss came again, that is, darkness within, but without lurid, flaring,
awful light. We could not see each other's faces within. It was very cold,
and, outside, snow and rain were falling, but little was thought of cold, hunger,
or thirst. We were waiting, waiting, waiting, to know whether it was to
be life or death.

I thought of what might be going on at home — of what the destruction
must be there; of my loved ones and where they were, and I wondered whether
if I was rescued, there would be anything left to live for.

On the roof of the Phillips Hotel were men with megaphones. They could
see the fire, and they shouted news of its progress. We had no megaphone
and it was difficult to call to them. It was found that my voice and that
of another man seemed to "carry" best to them, and I spent most of Wednesday
night standing on a window-sill, receiving and repeating the bulletins.

They came like this, hoarsely through the air :

"Oh, Callahan people, the fire has worked one door nearer. What do you

THE CHRISTIAN ANNUAL 83

say? No, the bank is not burning yet. The Beckel does not seem to have
caught yet."

"Oh, Callahan. Another store has caught but the bank is safe yet. The
wind seems to be rising and blowing this way."

This bank was the Fourth National, corner Jefferson and Third Streets.
It was said to be fireproof. Our lives depended on whether its east wall could
resist the fire.

At one o'clock, "Oh, Callahan; fire seems to be going down. Think the
bank will stand. We believe your danger is almost over."

There were long breaths and murmurs of "Thank God !" We had suffered
for nearly twelve hours. Was it possible the worst was over?

A dreadful explosion seemed to rend earth and sky. Sheets of blood-red
ghastly green fire illuminated everything, showers of burning embers and sparks
rained down, and hot smoke drifted past. I could only think of the Day of
the Last Judgment.

The fire had leaped across Third Street and entered Lowe Bros, paint works,
and apparently the whole contents had exploded at once.

It seemed that absolutely all hope was gone. Great masses of burning
wreckage drifted down the current, threatening to fire buildings in every direc-
tion. Some of our people lost, not their courage, but their judgment, and
wanted to start for the water. I believe I may have indirectly been the means
of saving a number of lives, by earnestly insisting that we should stay till the
last moment before jumping into the water. By professing much more hope
and confidence than I really felt, and, aided by some others, we kept a number
of people from abandoning a faint hope to go to certain death, and yet the fire-
wall held, the wind shifted, and as day broke on Thursday morning, the fire
was going away from us, and we were practically saved, after being for at least
eighteen hours in the immediate shadows of death.

By four o'clock on Thursday afternoon we were able to leave the building
where we had been imprisoned for fifty-six hours.

THE FLOOD — HOW IT TOUCHED DEFIANCE
By Rev. Wm. M. Jay

Defiance is situated at the junction of three rivers. The Auglaize from
the south, and the Maumee from north, form a junction at the old Fort grounds.
The Tiffin River from the north forms a junction with the Maumee on the
west side of town.

The Auglaize River divides the city of Defiance into what is called East
Defiance, where several of the large factories are located, and Defiance proper.

The current of this river is very swift, and destructive. Several estimates
were made during the flood rating the current at from three to five times as
rapid as that of the Maumee. When its banks are overflowing with its mad
rushing waters much destruction is done. The current of the Maumee is
smoother and slower in its course, doing less damage during high waters at
Defiance, than the Auglaize.

Defiance has experienced some high waters in its history, and has sustained
extensive damages as a result ; houses have been fiooded, river bridges have been
washed out with the aid of ice gorges, and it has become almost an annual
occurrence when the Tumbull Wagon Works are partly submerged; but the
March floods of 1913 surpassed all known records.

The writer had been spending a week's tour of the Erie Conference churches
when the rains began, and Wednesday morning found him at Conneaut, Ohio,
ready for his trip homeward. Boarding a P. S. & M. S. train at Conneaut, as
a usual thing, a daily paper was purchased, which gave the writer the first real

84 T H E C H R I S T I A N A N N U A L

knowledge that a flood was devastatiiisj; the country. In bold headlines stood
out the wild report : "Dayton flooded, five thousand droAvned." At uAue. search
was made for news from Defiance, but no reports were found, until the train
had arrived in Toledo without any delay from lii^h waters, and a 'ater edition
of the Toh'lo Blade was imrchased. which gave the information that Dpfiance was
heavily under water and two large bridges were swept away.

Boarding the first Wabash train that liad left the depot since Monday, we
landed safely in Defiance only to find all passage to the North Side completely
shut off, with the exception of the Wabash Ilailroad bridge. It seeuied almost
like a dare-devil trick to attempt to \Aalk that bridge in darkness, with the
surging waters within a few feet of the ties, but it AAas the only passage to that
part of the city.

Clinton Street bridge, the main entrance into town from the north, was a
foot under water and pronounced unsafe for travel. No traffic was p'M-mitted to
cross it after the waters began to cross the floor of the I'ridge. but the Christ
Diehl Brewery wagon loaded with betr. The company made s-uch a howl to get
another load of beer over into town that they were finally permitted lo unhitch
their horses and run the wagon across by hand, with fhe assurance that the
horses' lives should not be endangered; as for the beer and the rest it did not
matter so much. At the same instance grocery wagons were refused permission
to cross.

The B. & O. Railroad kept a heavy train of cars standing on rhe bridge
across the Auglaize River to liold the bridge intact. It took strenuous efforts to
keep the eml)ankments repaired by dumjung car-loads of cinders and Itags of
sand over the l)ank.

Frances Street, a short street .iust next to the west l»ank of the Auglaize
River and passing under the B. & O. Railroad bridge, was flooded from one end
to the other and great damages were done. This street is not jiavj-d and the
street filling was washed out down to the water main and the sewer pipes. The
sidewalks were torn up and piled up against the houses. All the people on this
street had to leave their homes for safety.

Auglaize Street, in East Defiance, and near by the river, was perhaps next
worst to be deluged by the flood of waters. The water reached the second
stories of the houses and several houses were washed away "in toto."

The waters from the Maumee extended two blocks over into the business i)art
of the town, flooding the basements and first floors of several business places
and entailing considerable losses.

It was conservatively estimated that about seventy homes were flooded and
several bu.slness establishments entailing a total loss of approximately .$500,0(X).
As soon as the Relief Committee could get organized for work, the town was
divided into districts, and each district put under the supervision of one of the
local pastors. They were provided with specially prepared blanks which vailed
for statistical information of losses and damages sustained by each family in
the flooded districts. These reports gave the Relief Committee a safe basis for
the distribution of relief funds and provisions.

It seemed that all differences were forgotten for the time being, or at least
laid aside and it was one united effoi't to bring instant relief to the sufferers.
Catholics and Protestants worked side by side and in seemingly hearty cooperation
One thing that favored Defiance and aided the city to keep its bearings and pre-
serve order, was the fact that the city was not left in darkness. While the great

THE CHRISTIAN ANNUAL 85

Auglaize Power Dam, which controls the city light, was put out of commission,
yet the small city light plant, owned by the former company was able to furnish
light for all needs. But Defiance was not overwhelmed ; land boomed and
buildings began at once where the location was safe from high wateis. North
Defiance received the lion's share of this boom and nearly a score of new
houses have been erected in the vicinity of the college grounds. A new extension
of sixty-two lots have been added to the North Side limits, immediately ad.iacent
to the college campus on the north; several new buildings are anticipated in the
near future in the vicinity of the college settlement. Now is the time for our
l)eople. who are thiidving of retiring to the city, to come to Defiance and establish
homes for themselves, thus strengthening the local diurch ,ind building up a strong
Christian sentiment in the college settlement.

THE FLOOD AT PIQUA, OHIO
By Rev. W. J. Voung

We are told that Miami is an Indian word meaning tnathcr. \ traveler
passing along the beautiful valley of the Miami would most certainly be com-
pelled to note how strikingly significant and ai»plicable is the name; for the
l)eautiful stream, now flowing so (luietly and majestically on its onward course, is
the great and gracious nurse of one of the most riclily fertile and productive
valleys of the eart^

For some reason, however, this patient. i)lodding and otherwise faithful
mater lost her equipoise and deliberately Hogged her ( hildren with an unwonted
and unexpected inundation when she left her banks on the night of March 24,
1913. bringing wreck and ruin to houses and lands, to business and peaceful
homes, and dealing the death blow to at least forty-five of the unsuspecting
residents of our fair city.

The almost incessant rains for neai'ly a week was the prcliable cause of the
terrible calamity. A rain exceeding six inches coming down upon a river
already full and overflowing its banks and levees precipitated the disaster over-
Mowing the lower, the eastern i)art of the city. Then with a view of saving
the higher parts of this valley city from a flood, the banks of the hydraulic
canal which supplies the city with water from the Lewistown reservoir, were
• lit a few miles north of the city pouring into the over-swollen river a sheet
of water about sixteen feet wide, eight feet deep, and thirty-two miles long.
This added deluge raised the water five feet in five u)inutes and broke the levee
of the river estal)lishing an irresistible current which cut a new channel and
swept everything in its wake, moving at least 150 houses from their foundations
and carrying man.A of them together with contents and occupants to utter
annihilation.

In Main Street and in the business section generally ^he water reached a
depth of five feet, making of the streets veritable streams and ruining all goods
in the basements, which rai)idly filled, and destroying much on the first floors of
the business houses.

In the home of William Catterlin, one of the trustees of our Piqua church,
the water reached a depth of seventeen inches on the second floor, the house
being full two stories high and standing almost three feet above a terraced lawn.
In this particular district, rescuers in bt)ats had to exercise the greatest care so

d6

THE CHRISTIAN ANNUAL

as not to become entangled in the telephone wires strung en the poles along the
streets and which were entirely covered by the water.

The greatest destruction of property occurred in that portion of the city
known as Shawnee where the current swept away 54 houses to nobody-knows-
where, leaving a vast field of stones and gravel three feet deep, completely
covering the lots and streets until it is almost impossible to discover the former
location of the residences.

When the flood struck on Monday night, messengers gave warning to the
people in the endangered districts. Some left everything and hurried at once
to places of safety. Some tarried to carry household goods and keep-sakes to
the second floors and because of the rapidly rising water were unable to leave
their homes unless rescued by men in boats who were busy all night long.
Others who might have escaped gave no heed to the warning and in some

Pl^ua, Ohio— Downing Street, North of Ash

instances laughed at those who plead with them to escape for their lives, while
still others answered their informants with curses. It makes one to think of
the days of Noah who for one hundred and twenty years called the people to
repentance and safety. Yet they mocked him, laughed at him and we can
imagine in their own way and language dubbed the ark as "Noah's Folly." And
so to-day in spite of the entreaties of God's children, men and women of the
world laugh at religion, curse the church and her ministry and continue to live in
sin until the awful catastrophe of death overwhelms them and their cries for
help will be sad for there is no eye to pity and no arm to help.

But Tuesday was the saddest day of the flood's raging. The waters were
most furious. The cries for help could be heard coming from men, women, and
suffering children in attics, on house-tops and in tree-tops. But few dared risk
their lives in the angry waters in the work of rescue. All day long anxious
watchers stood where they could see and hear hundreds in distress and yet
were helpless to give aid and could only hope and pray. Ah, it was a time of

THE CHRISTIAN ANNUAL

87

earnest prayer — real prayer La which both saint and sinner engaged. Now
and then a substantially-built residence would come swiftly floating down the
current, strike the Pennsylvania railway bridge and be dashed into a thousand
fragments. Once a husband and wife who had sought the roof of their home
for safety but whose home became the prey of the water monster were seen
standing on the roof and as it approached the bridge they embraced and in the
next minute were lost from sight as the house was dashed against the bridge.
The bodies were found down the river a week or more later.

The Christian church was honored in being able to furnish the hero of
the hour in the person of Brother Richard Bateman who was the only man that
could successfully handle a boat in the surging, seething current. All day long
on Tuesday and Wednesday he put out in an ordinary rowboat and rescued over
a hundred persons from attics, floating homes, and tree-tops. Bro. Bateman was

Fiqua, Ohio— Shawnee Bridg^e

offered liquor as a stimulant several times but stoutly refused, saying that he
had Help whom men could not see and when congratulated or thanked he
invariably said, "I take no glory to myself, but give it to ?Iim who keeps and
helps me." Brother Bateman formerly did patrol duty on the Ohio river and
his experience as an expert oarsman served him well here.

There were other heroes, of course. Among them was Attorney Clark B.
Jamison who headed the temperance forces of Piqua and vicinity in our last
successful effort to keep Miami County dry. His heart was too tender and too
large for his strength and skill and when the boat capsized in which he and
a friend were attempting a rescue, he became the Adctim of the mad waters
which took him to his death.

Much could be written of the thrilling escapes fi*om death, the long hours
of suffering endured by those marooned on roofs, in attics, and in tree- tops from
twenty-four to forty-eight hours without food, water, or clothing to shield them

e

Troy, Ohio— Court House

THE CHRISTIAN ANNUAL 89

from the rain and cold. One colored man hung to the top of a tree for fifty hours
before he could be rescued and all the while he prayed, sang, and called for help.

Much could be said about the splendid relief organization formed on Tuesday
comprised of our business and professional men and in which our ministers had
no small part. The work of the National Red Cross Society could be praised,
the grand manner in which neighboring towns and cities responded to our relief,
and the substantial sympathy shown by our farmer friends could be enlarged
upon. Much might be told of the work of rehabilitation which has restored
much of that which was destroyed even though ugly scars still remain. So also
could much be related of the true spirit of Christ which prevailed when real
sympathy and brotherliness was richly exemplified and when racial lines were
obligated, social distinctions were forgotten and when all were brothers suffering
in common and laboring in the one general interest, shoulder to shoulder,
hand in hand and heart with heart. But the editor has kindly and msely
cautioned us to be brief. Hence let me write briefly as to how our own Chris-
tian church in Piqua fared.

Forty-four families were effected. Some lost only the goods on the first
floors of their homes ; some lost everything they possessed except the scant
clothing in which they made their escape. However, only seventeen families
were assisted to a new start for the rest felt able to care for themselves and
preferred to do so. All are now well and comfortable and are doing well.
Not one life was lost from our flock. The water did not reach our church
property. The back-water came to within a block of it. Even our basement
was perfectly dry. And while we were thus well protected we ai"e daily learn-
ing great lessons from the flood and feel that out of this disastrous calamity
there has come great blessing to us each individually and to the community in
general.

THE FLOOD AT TROY, OHIO
By Rev. J. E, Etter

There are occasional events in the lives of individuals, in the history of
communities and nations, which because of their magnitude and importance,
demand the first place in our thought. The title of this article was such an
event. Every day we hear people speak of what transpired before or after
the great flood. They do not refer of course to the Noachian deluge, but to the
calamity that visited this community on March 25, 1913.

On the morning of the above date at about 2 o'clock we were awakened by a
kind neighbor who gave us the unwelcome information that the streets below us
were flooded, that the water was gradually creeping around our own homes, and
that there was to be an unprecedented rise of the Miami. By daylight our little
city was a modern Venice. Boats were plying on almost every street. The
waters continued rising until more than three-fourths of the town site was under
water. The damage both public and private, in Troy and vicinity is estimated
at a half million, while the loss in Miami County will total $3,000,000. While
the property loss among our own people was fortunately not large, yet the major
portion of the membership suffered losses ranging from fifty to $1,200. The same
expressions of wonder were heard here as elsewhere, that the loss of life was so
small in the face of so much destruction of property. Fifteen persons were

baflled description. You would read of a section that was hard hit by the
angry waters and upon visiting it, you would at once exclaim, "No tongue or
pen hath adequately described this scene." It is not at all surprising that
those who first viewed the scenes of desolation from the distant hills, were respon-
sible for such despatches being flashed over the land as, "Troy, Ohio, is wiped

We get a rather vivid idea of the havoc wrought when we remember that
there was no traffic of any Mnd for almost a full week. Neither the scream of
the locomotive nor the familiar grinding sound of the trolley car were in
evidence. During this period also practically no messages, either telegraphic
or otherwise, were received or transmitted to friends.

The moral lessons of such a disaster should have due consideration. The
most formidable works of man are at best but puny and short-lived. The limit-
less powers of nature are ever sending to mankind some new surprise. Here
in our city we were all taught how dependent we were upon each other. Our
desires that separate us, are mostly artificial; while our real needs that
unite us in one brotherhood are few and fundamental. We were taught how to
expect good from unexpected sources, and to appreciate kindly deeds, acts of
heroism, and sacrifice on the part of those who, in ordinary life, did not seem
to be in the possession of such qualities. Our faith in One of whom Job

Troy, Ohio— Peters Avenue

writes, "Who balances the clouds and who is the father of the rain," was deep-
ened.

As we emerged from the liquid atmosphere which was the immediate cause
of the flood, like others in the flood zone, we faced the problem of relief and
reconstruction. While we are living only eight days from want and starvation,
it is just as true that the crust of human selfishness is not very deep and may be
easily broken. The land of kindness is not a fairyland after all. A great
calamity will reveal the abundance of pure gold in the human heart. The
response from near-by sources was immediate and abundant. From distant cities
came food and clothing. Our citizens raised a fund of $20,000 for the benefit of
those who were less fortunate than themselves. All our worthy poor received
aid, comfort, and consideratien from our own hands. Fraternal organizations
put into practical effect their sacred tenets.

A word of commendation should be added concerning the benevolent activities
of our local church. Although they had themselves suffered, one of their first

92

THE CHRISTIAN ANNUAL

acts was to call a meeting and adopt a system of relief to aid those who had
suffered most in our Bible school and congregation. As a result fifty-five fam-
ilies received substantial aid. During this period the churcli met all her local
obligations, and Iier offerings in the various channels of outside benevolences
will not be greatly reduced below those of recent years. At the time of tliis
writing, July 9th, our people are rapidly recovering their .old-time zeal in the
Master's service, therefore we thank (Jod and take courage.

THE FLOOD AT FRANKLIN, OHIO
By Rev. H. J. Rhode.s

Like all tlie villages and cities along the Miami Kiver. Franklin was in the
path of tlie great liood of 1913.

The great rainfall began Saturday night. March 22d. and with an occasional
stop continued until Tuesday afternoon. On Monday the rise in the river
became alarming. Tuesday it overflowed its banks in many places. Wednes-
day at three o'clock it reached its highest point. At this time it was over two
miles wide, and all movalile property in its way was tloating down the valley.

The bridges in the village stood the test and remained secure. Fourteen
dwellings had gone down. Barns, outhouses of every description were going
down stream and being dashed to pieces agains the bridges. Reports of loss
of life came, and men with boats were daring fate in their efforts to readi those
in immiment danger. The vestries of the Methodist Episcopal and Chris ian
churches were opened on Monda.v to receiA'e those rendered homeless and plans
for their cai'e and comfort perfected. The water did not reach the business on
the Main S.reet, so the stores were open all the time, as were also the banks and
most of the public utilities. Fourteen houses were entirely destroyed and two
hundred and ten were more or less damaged by water and debris. Sevei-al of
the manufacturing plants were in the way of the water and badly crippled. One

school building \\as in the wet district as were all the railroads and the electric
railroad. The farmers in the west district were very heavy losers from the loss
of stock, buildings, and the destruction of their fields and washing off of the soil

THE CHRISTIAX ANNUAL

from their fields. Much cattle wiis drowned, and all classes of animals were
destroyed.

It will require .vears of labor to restore the farms to their former fertihty.
The losses have l)een variously estimated at from one hundred thousand t6 one
hundred and tifty thousand dollars. A Relief Committee was organized before
the water had commenced to recede and has done splendid work in feathering
funds and disbursing the same. The Xa ional Ked Cross Society came to our

Franklin, Ohio — A>t'st Frnnklin

assistance, as did various helpful organizations, and the committee was permitted
to furnisli several thcmsand dollars to those who have been impoverished. The
writer was a member of tlia. committee, and wislies to bear testimony to the
high cliaracter of tlie men who gave tlieir time and efforts to this woi'k. It is
seldom that one finds such earnest, though ful, caretaking as was evidenced
(hiring the months of the life of the committee.

Seven lives were lost. Six of the l)odies were recovered, but one is still
missing.

While the water was still rising, our bakers were making bread for the
people of Miamisburg. Si)ringboro. Ked JAon, and Lebanon. And they were send-
ing by automobiles to these places l)ecause all public service lines were out of
commission. Some of the men working thi;- y bonrs without resting. We had
plenty of food stuffs, and there was qui<-k response with clothing and Ixtuseliold
goods wlien called for.

Tliere were twenty-two of the families of the Christian church congregation
in the water. Some of them lost much, and others were simiily inconvenienced
through the mud and water deposits in their houses and upon their premises.
Many families were driven to the second floors and some were taken out after
the water reached the second floors.

What caused this flood, do you ask? (iKEI^I). There was an unusual fall
of rain, but the river bed has I)een hemmed within so narrow a space as to make
it impossible for the water to be passed down its natural passage. The dumping
of refuse into the river for years, tlie filling of sliallow jilaces for the convenience
of tlie abutters and the building of railroad bridges and filling up of the
valley to save the pi'ice of trestles have made it imiiossible to i)ass the water
through its natural channels.

The National (Joveriuueut should take charge of its waterways, and see

94 THE CHRISTIAN ANNUAL

that they are kept as wide as nature designed thep. The property of the citizens
would be safe and life would be secure along the beautiful valleys.

An estimate has been offered that the price of this flood to the people and
the State will reach the unthinkable sum of FIVE HUNDRED MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS.

THE FLOOD IN THE OHIO VALLEY
By Rev. W. A. Warner

Until March 30, 1913, the "Great Flood" of the Ohio River occurred in
February, 1884, and all floods of the Ohio were measured by "the '84 flood."
Now the record is broken, and April 1, 1913, stands as the date of the highest
water within the memory of the oldest inhabitants along the course of the
upper Ohio River.

A flood in the Ohio is not to be thought of as the breaking of a dam, or a
cloudburst, or the letting loose of a reservoir. It does not come all at once,
but for days, and sometimes weeks, before the summit is reached. The '81
flood was two or three weeks getting to the highest, and the flood of this year
was five or six days, and attained a stage from four inches to seventeen inches
higher than the '84 flood, in the towns above Cincinnati, where the reported
guage was several inches lower.

In time of floods the people along the Ohio have a little time to save
themselves and much of their movable property. When the river is bank-
full and rising at the rate of two inches per hour, people in the low places begin
to move, and those a little higher up prepare for a flood. The Mar.^h flood
of 1913 came with a rise of six inches per hour, and that on top of a good
stage of water, and though it was spreading over all the lowlands, miles and
miles of surface to cover, yet it maintained that rate for many hours, rising
to a height never before attained within the history of white men.

Moving had to be done in a hurry, and many were caught before their
goods could be gotten to a safe place. Many went to bed at night with the
thought, "We will move to-morrow," but early on the morrow when they put
their feet out of bed to begin the moving in good time, they put them into
cold water, and sometimes shoe-top deep, with their carpets under that muddy
water. The water was all around the house, so that all the moving that could
be done must be by boats, and much of their goods were spoiled by the water.
For four or five days the moving went on, day and nignt. Strange things
happened; ludicrous things happened; serious things happened; awful things
happened, and yet there was no loss of life in the smaller towns and villages
along the Ohio River, but the loss of property is beyond computation.

We moved our goods into the churches, into the schoolhouses, out on
the side of the hill, anywhere to get away from the creeping water which
was rising inch by inch, and foot by foot for five or six terribly long days
and nights while we stood around and watched our homes fllUng with water,
and our outbuildings floating away. '

But this water subsided and we came back to our homes, not to live in,
but to begin the cleaning process. The paper on the walls was spoiled, tha
plastering had to be patched, and much of it had to be torn olt and newly
plastered, the doors would not open or shut, the floors were bulged up and
covered with mud indescribably sticky and with a smell never to be forgotten.

THE CHRISTIAN ANNUAL

95

But now let us turn to some of the good things connected with a flood,
for it is not all bad. There ai-e lessons, at least, worth learning, which we
are liable to miss if these calamities never come. It is good for us once in a
while to see the door of human hearts opened. The humdrum life of con-
tinued peace and prosperity will never open some of the inmost chambers of
the human heart. But when catastrophy overtakes us and we are turned
out from our home and our living, with no time for preparation, then it is
that the God-implanted kinship — the common brotherhood of man is manifested
and we are able to see it, if our eyes are open as God would have us keep
them open.

Here were hundreds of people without shelter or food, but the homes above
water were thrown open and the unfortunate ones were invited in and cared

Muneie, Indiana — "Wheeling Ave., from Higli Street Bridge

for till other quarters were found, and in most of cases no charge was made
for all this.

Household goods had to be moved, and there were not teams enough to
move them nor men enough to handle them, but they came in from the country
with teams and hauled their goods to a place of safety, and mostly, not a
cent would they receive for such service. Of course, there were a few who
took advantage of our misfortunes, but in the whole we were made to feel
that God really made man in His own likeness, and there is a divine element
in all of us. And it seems wonderful when you see a rough, and it may be,
profane man doing with all his might the very thing that you think .Tesus would
have done if He had been placed in the same position.

And my prayer is, Lord, teach me to teach men what Thou hast implanted
within them.

THE FLOOD AT MUNCTE, INDIANA

BY KEV. JOHN A. STOVER

To fully understand the recent flood at Muncie, it is well to know something
of the geographical features and the lay of the land in certain sections of the
city. Muncie is located on the White River, and the north part of the city, or
the better residential section of the city is crowded into what the Indians in an
early day called the horseshoe. Beginning at the river in the north part of

96

THE CHRISTIAN ANNUAL

tlie section enclosed by this bend in tlie river, tlie land gradually rises as one
goes south.

Something like nine years ago a mild tlood was experienced by the people
living within the horseshoe. After this disaster a levee was built along the
river. After the construction of this the north-siders felt secure.

The residents of this section had their mind first directed toward the possi-
bility of another overflow by noting the excessive amount of rainfall on Easter
Sunday and the two or three days immediately following. Something like ten
inches is estimated to have fallen.

The river began to reach threatening proportions on Monday evening, March
21, 1913. Men were stationed in dangerous places by the city authorities to note

c^a K^^0 Vt\A\A,w.^.bW\uuE3, w.UHc\^,mo, ^-'-^'Vb,

Miincie, Indiana — Railroad Bridge.s

the progress of the water and to safeguard against danger. At about midnight
on Monday night the people were given their first warning to get ready to move
out. Back water was the thing threatening at the time, but by two o'clock on
Tuesday morning this condition had become so dangerous that wagons, trucks,
moving vans, and every other conceivable means of transportation had been
drafted in to convey the people to places of safety. On Tuesday morning the
dike protecting the people within the danger zone broke, permitting the current
of the river to sweep through the north part of the city, yet strange to say, add-
ing very little to the depth of the water, only making the work of rescuing a few
of the belated refugees more difficult.

The redeeming feature of the flood in Muncie was the fact that in none of
the houses was the water more than five feet deep. The majority of the
houses were within the one to three feet zone. The number of houses wrecked
numbered possibly six or eight. The damage to others consisted in damages
to basements, plastering, furniture, lawns, etc. The financial loss at the time
was estimated at $1,000,000.00, which may be somewhat in excess of the real loss.

THE CHRISTIAN ANNUAL

97

The number of people driven from their homes was probably not far from 2,000.
The number of lives lost was one, a workman on one ot the bridges of the city.

The First Christian church of Muncie is located in the north part of the
city, the water coming within two blocks of the church. A number of the fam-
ilies of the church of course were affected by the flood, although none were
reduced to the charity level only as all the flood victims were in need of shelter
during the time of high water.

The grim humor of the situation was shown by the attitude of many of the
people. They found it better to laugh in the face of misfortune, rather than
to cry. Few tears were seen to fall. One man, evidently a politician, was

Muncie, Indiana — Fourtli Street, Lookingr West

heard to say : "Were we not told that if there was a change in the administration
calamity would result." Most of the people consoled themselves with the
remark, "Well we might be like Peru or Dayton !"

The city showed its spirit of charity by the readiness with which relief was
sent to Peru, Ind., and to other places. Even after suffering a loss aggregating
almost $1,000,000.00 the relief train from this city was the first to reach the
stricken city of Peru. At this writing few marks of devastation remain, yet tlie
memory of those days is fresh in the minds of all.

THE FliOOD AT INDIANAPOIilS, INDIANA
By Rev. E. A. DeVore, D. D.

The equinoctial storm of 1913, which will be remembered as the worst yet
on record in this section, reached its culmination in a steady downpour from
March 22 to 25. In tliis time eleven inches of water fell upon all the central part
of the State, and twelve inches on the territory immediately north of Indianapolis.
The lowlands and bottoms, and even many square miles of level farms, were
filled to overflowing ; but still it rained.

On Tuesday afternoon, the sMes cleared away, but thousands, anxious lest
some sudden break should occur in the dykes along the railways and river, tried

9& THE CHRISTIAN ANNUAL

in vain to escape; others of us rested complacently, imagining that we were
above high water. Late in the day the railway fills and afterward the levees did
give way. The pent-up waters from four to ten feet deep, rushed in upon four
square miles of territory in and adjacent to this city, quickly surrounding and
flooding nearly four thousand houses, the homes of 15,000 working people. A
few of the houses were totally wrecked or carried away ; in some the water rose
into the second stories, in others only a few inches ; not many escaped.

About five o'clock the water began to fill the gutter in front of our premises,
at eleven that night it stood nine feet deep in the street, twenty-six inches on the
floor of our cottage home, fifty-four inches in my sister's home, and seven to eight
feet in near-by storerooms. The family, thinking that the cottage itself was safe,
but would be surrounded, had gone earlier, leaving everything in place, while I
remained at my oflice and library in my sister's three story house. There, being
three feet higher than all previous floods, we fancied ourselves safe until sud-
denly we realized that the water was coming through the cracks on the porch
floor. Then we worked as never before in our lives carrying to the upper floors
drinking water, fuel, food, clothing, and a few pieces of furniture; but still the
waters rushed in. The weight pressed in the basement windows, and while it
and the big cistern were filling, the roar under my feet was like that of a mill-
race. The sub-soil here consists of a coarse sand or gravel, which under usual
conditions is thoroughly drained into the sewer, lying ten feet below the surface,
leaving the sand full of air. As this air space was being filled with water, the
whole surface of the front lawn boiled and bubbled as if in a big teakettle.
To make things more gruesome, tanks holding car lots of machine oil in neai'-by
factories were overturned and the oil, mingled with all manner of wood and
debris, came upon the surface, and then, with a flash, the electric lights were extin-
guished and the streets were in pitchy darkness.

Having the cheerful assistance of one man, who was just recovering from
an accident and of my seventy-one-year-old sister, both of whom could not safely
endure the exposure, I stationed them on the stairway to take from my hands
armsful and boxes of goods and the most valued of my numerous files and books.

After a diversion long enough to rescue my old soldier neighbor, by pulling
him with a gas pipe from his veranda to our porch, across a rushing torrent seven
feet or more deep, and sending him up-stairs to a warm bed before the fire, I
continued my wading toil until half-past ten o'clock. Then I could do no more
for lack of light, one lamp being overturned by the sudden plunging of my big
desk and the other one being ready to float from the top of the submerged heating
stove. My big book case was on its face in the water ; other furniture was afloat
in general chaos; I was wet to my arm-pits; the watch in my vest pocket had
been forgotten and was ruined ; an hundred or so books were still in the water,
with bindings ruined ; my tools were submerged in the shop and outbuildings and
all the contents of the cottage home were in the water, for it was impossible to
cross the raging torrent between the houses to rescue them. At last, taking my
father's oil portrait from the wall near the ceiling, I climbed the stairway to the
second floor.

As I left the icy-cold water, my teeth began to chatter and I felt that I had
endured enough ; but soon after when reclad in warm flannels and dry apparel, I
was filled indeed with thankfulness that matters were no worse.

Calling across to other buildings on either side, I learned that there were
about fifty persons, regular inmates or refugees, safe in the. upper floors of our

THE CHRISTIAN ANNUAL 99

three buildings, and no others remained in the entire square; but all were safe.
Later we discovered that one horse, which had brought people to safety in my
sister's house, had broken loose from the wagon in the yard and was lost.

All night long we occasionally heard voices in the darkness. They came from
rescuing parties in boats or from people calling for help.

Now, after time for careful investigation, only three persons were drowned
in this city so far as actually known.

The next day hundreds of boats were in the streets taking the remaining peo-
ple to places of safety, and the next days many business men of the city gave their
time and goods freely and very little actual suffering passed unheeded or un-
relieved.

The Governor with two companies of militia, the mayor with the police and
health officers, hundreds of volunteers and school-teachers (for the schools had
to be closed) gave their earnest efforts to do whatever their hands could find
helpful to the homeless and needy.

One of the big high school buildings was turned into a dormitory for the
homeless, and 739 persons were housed there from one to ten nights each. More
than 15,000 meals were given away at this and other relief stations. Many of
the churches and lodge rooms and hundreds of homes gave lodgings and food
to all who needed.

Enormous quantities of food and clothing were sent in. As they were piled
in heaps in Tomlinson Hall and in the corridor of the city hall, they resembled
great hay racks in size. Up to April the first twenty-five truck loads of garments
and 30,000 rations had been contributed. The well-to-do and the very poor
alike were encouraged to accept whatsoever each one had need of in the emer-
gency. No one at first could know the extent of his loss or the many things
actually needed before he could again be comfortable in his flood-ruined home.
Six months of severe and unremitting toil by some of us do not yet see us back
in the same comfort that we had before.

The household goods of over 3,000 families were engulfed, nearly all of whom
were deemed worthy of help. Another 1,000 families suffered losses, which were
provided for by self-help or private friends. Altogether 4,000 of the 50,000 fam-
ilies in the city were direct sufferers ; still the generous-hearted business men of
the city declined help from outside sources, and resolved to attend to matters
themselves. More than this, they sent aid to other localities also. Chicago
offered $100,000 and other cities large sums ; all were requested to turn their gifts
to those elsewhere who suffered even more severely.

The committee in charge spent over $11,500 to buy food; they distributed
157 tons of coal in addition to three car loads at first distributed by the police.

Up to April 15 they gave. away 43,000 meals and nearly 10,000 lots of clothing,
most of which were aimed for families and not alone for persons who carried
them away.

The committee for refurnishing homes investigated the needs of 3,204 families
and helped 2,332, while 403 were assisted by other agencies.

A sewing committee of ladies made 1,600 new garments and gave away 8,255
garments mainly to children and their mothers.

The retail liquor dealers contributed a large sum, which was distributed by
their own committees.

So also all churches and lodges and thousands of individuals gave freely
and often; and no man knoweth how much they gave. The task was so great

100 THE CHRISTIAN ANNUAL

that the General Relief Committee could not complete their work and get their
reports audited until December. I waited for months to get exact figures and
official reports, but only rough guesses are possible. Individual reports in each
case of course have been audited and paid for, but there is no way of getting
their aggregate.

It is safe to state that the General Relief Committee handled a total of
$100,000 cash, and goods unappraised, and money by other agencies reached
an equal value. Yet in addition to this $200,000, doubtless another million dol-
lars of loss will fall ultimately upon the sufferers themselves and upon the tax
payers and property owners.

This is generally conceded to be the greatest calamity that ever fell upon
this city up to the present.

The flood was probably owing to natural or providential causes, and it worked
out good in many ways by causing great heart-throbs of brotherly sympathy
and myriads of kindly deeds.

THE WHITE PILGRIM

[The following historical items and references were prepared by Lewis A. Potter,
of West Alexandria, Ohio, whose wife is a granduiece of the White Pilgrim. By this
article is preserved some interesting and valuable historic items well worth preserving
for future reference. — J. F. B.]

After the death of Rev. Joseph Thomas (The White Pilgrim) in 1S35, all
communication between relatives of his in Preble County, Ohio, ceased. No
one knew what became of Christiana Ritnour Thomas, and children. More
than seventy-eight years have come and gone since "The White Pilgrim's" death,
and no knowledge of her or her children.

The writer had been impressed for many years that there must have been
children, as suggested by the last stanza of the poem, "I Came to the Spot,"
which reads :

"Go tell my companion, and children most dear,

To weep not for Joseph, though gone,
That the same Hand that led him through scenes dark and drear,
Has kindly conducted him home."

The above reference, together with the report of a visit to the grave as
given by Rev. M. P. Julian, in The Herald of Gospel Liberty, July 24. 1913,
caused the writer to insert the desire for information in an August issue of
that paper for the same year.

The first answer to this request came from Mrs. Mary Ellis Tucker (daughter
of Rev. John Ellis), of Jacksonville, Florida. This letter brought much of the
kind of information desired.

Rev. M. P. Julian, then of Vienna, New Jersey, helped me very much
by letter and a clipping from an article by Mrs. Mary E. Orcutt, of London,
Ohio. The article by Mrs. Orcutt, was an answer to a "write up" regarding the
White Pilgrim in the February magazine.

Mrs. Orcutt, being a relative of the Thomases, through her able articles
furnished me much needed, reliable, and valuable information.

And, last, but not least, through the very great kindness of Mrs. Mary Smith,
No. 220 Main St., Hackettstown, New Jersey, in forwarding to me "The Life
and Travels and Gospel Labors of Elder Joseph Thomas."

To all I express my most heartfelt thanks. L. A. Potter.

SAftlUEL SAMPLE AND OTHERS

Samuel Sample, St., was born in Frederick County, Virginia, January 1,
17S0. At the age of twenty-four years, on March 29, 1S04, he was married
to Nancy Ritnour, the eldest of eleven children, daughter of Michael and
Nancy Ritnour. Miss Ritnour was born October 15, 1781, and was twenty-two
years of age at the time of marriage.

It is well known, that in the early days the itinerant preachers of the
evangelistic type were constantly traveling through the country, preaching
anywhere convenient to those who were religiously inclined, or had an ear
for the gospel. God's first temples were often used for such purposes, and
quite often in private residences.

"When the wandering Pilgrim chanced along

It was a house of prayer,
And many a sweet and olden song

Has filled the Sabbath air,
The trees, whose branches wide and high

Above the well-curb swayed.
Seemed beckoning the passer-by

To rest beneath its shade.

Here gathered, on each holiday.

Around the fireside cheer.
Many a gentle matron gray.

And sturdy pioneer —
The men who braved the solitude,

And laid the forest low.
And blazed the pathways thi'ough the woods.

Where now broad highways go."

Here in Frederick County, Rev. Joseph Thomas became a familiar personage.
The struggles and privations of this man of God must have been very great,
judging from his Memoirs.

It seems that Michael Ritnour's residence was ever open for divine service,
and as early as ISll, Rev. Thomas held regular services here. It was at
these meetings that Samuel Sample, and wife, Nancy, were among the first
in that country that went into an organization, called Christian, under the
labors of Elder Thomas, "The White Pilgrim," and were baptized by him, and
at one of these meetings, on the third Sunday in November, 1811, at one of
his appointments, the White Pilgrim, for the first time saw her, who afterwards
became his wife.

The journal says, "that on April 12, 1812, on Sunday evening at candlelight,
in the house of Michael Ritnour, I was married to his daughter, Christiana.
T continued to preach in the regions around, until April 30, with unwearied
diligence; suffering much persecution and much opposition; and the Lord
abudantly blessed my feeble labors, to comfort and to the salvation of many
souls. On August 12, 1813, my wife brought a daughter, and we named her
Sophronia."

In August, 1801, the great meetings of the Cane Ridge revival occurred,
held by Rev. Barton W. Stone, assisted by Rev. David Purviance and others.

A few years later, perhaps in 1810, David Purviance emigrated to Preble
County, Ohio, and located near New Paris. Here he organised a church with
some twenty-five members, converts from Cane Ridge, who had settled with
him there. This was the first church organized in that part of Ohio. About
this time Reuben Dooley came to Preble County from Virginia.

In 1S07, Barton W. Stone and Reuben Dooley held meetings in Eaton, the
county seat of Preble County. "We preached." they write, "and baptized
daily in Eaton for many days; no house could contain the people that flocked
to hear ; we had to preach in the open streets to the anxious multitude."

A little later, but yet in the early teens, Samuel Sample and family emi-
grated to Preble County from Frederick County, Virginia, and located in Section
5, Lanier Township. They were Christians in Virginia and became colaborers
with Stone, Purvlance, Dooley, Shideler, Worley, Kyle, and Adams in Ohio.

The Bank Spring Christian church, situated a mile north by east from
Camden, in Somers Township, and at Upper Paint, is where Samuel Sample

and family often worshipe<l together
with Reuben Dooley and others,
the majority of whom had come
from Virginia. On May 23, 1844.
Margaret Sample was marrietl to
DaA'id Fisher, who. wilh Samuel
Sample. Jr.. her father and mother,
became charter members of the
Bethlehem Christian cnurch, which
was organized in 1840, by Rev.
Jessie O. Harris. The first deacon
was Samuel Sample, Sr.. and the
first clerk was Rev. Thomas Wells.
After ten years of worsbip in
"God's first temples." in barns in
the summer time and private resi-
dences in the winter, the Bethlehem
church was built in 1850.

The cbarter members of this his-
toric church rest in "God's Acre"
about four hundred yards south of
the Bethlehem church, Lanier
Township, Preble County, Ohio.

In the early twenties. Rev. Joseph
Thomas, the White Pilgrim, made
several visits in this locality with
Samuel Sample, his brother-in-law.
In 1817, he removed his family to
Madison County, Ohio, where he
soon organized a Christian church of which he became the pastor, his home being
near South Solon. Here for many years he held an annual camp-meeting, from which
blessed results came. In the fall of 18.34, he left his home at South Solon, Ohio, on his
last evangelistic tour. It was a triumphant progress through the Eastern States.
In the early spring he set his face homeward, but he was not to reach that sacred

body was buried in a secluded place. Years later, the late Elder J. S. Maxwell,

ceremonies in the Johnsonburg cemetery. Soon after his reburial. Elder JoJ^i^

Ellis visited the grave and wrote to the memory of Elder Thomas, the beautiful
song,

"I came to the spot where the While Pilgrim lay.

And pensively stood by his tomb.
When in a low whisper I heard something say,
How sweetly I sleep here alone."

His grave is marked by an ItaUan marble monument inscribed : Joseph
Thomas, minister of the gospel of the Christian Church, known as the White
Pilgrim; died April 9, 1835, aged 44 years. lu the fall of 1835, Elder Isaac N.
Walter came by coach from New York City, and preached the funeral sermon of
Elder Thomas, to a vast throng, near the old camp-meeting site. There had
been a strong friendship between these two men, and they had labored much
together. For many long years they have had sweet rest together in Heaven.

While the body of the White Pilgrim rests in his grave at JohnsoDburg,
New Jersey, his wife, journeyed the lonely life over thirty-two years longer in

Cemetery, Johnsoiiburg', N. J., Monument of the White Pilgrim

Ohio, and on September 14, 1867, she laid aside life's burden, at Robert Little's,
her nephew. She rests in her grave near Grape Grove, Green Co., Ohio. She
has a mark forty-eight inches high, eighteen inches wide, and three inches
thick, with the inscription — Christiana, wife of Joseph Thomas, the White
Pilgrim, died September 14, 1867, aged 79 years. Thus, "they rest from their
labors and their works do follow them."

Susan Esther Potter, a great-niece of the White Pilgrim, and daughter of
David and Margaret Sample Fisher, was bom July 4, 1848.

Her father and mother were members of the Bethlehem church of which
her father was senior deacon until his death. On September 12, 1867, "Sue," as
she was familiarly known, was married to Lewis A. Potter, to which union three
sons and two daughters were born, "Baby" Lawrence passing over the river
that has no bridge December 17, 1875.

She united with the Bethlehem Christian church in April, 1865, under the
pabtoral service of Elder James C. Neal, and in February 19, 1878, was baptized
by Rev. C. W. Garoutte.

She had a wisdom and judgment that excelled many of her associates. She
had the courage to say. No, and a will, to mean it. She was firm in her decision.
She spunied any language that was in the least corrupt, or unclean, and en-
deavored to .'ivoid all disputations. She was known far and near as an extraord-
inary young lady. She was an active member of the church and very seldom, in
rain, or shiiie, was her seat vacant. She was an ardent supporter of the Sunday-
school, and often served as teacher. Her heart and soul were ever in the work
of the Master. Among the many happy childhood memories to her was the dear
old homestead of her Grandpa and Grandma Sample, and the hearty greetings
given her by them at the threshold of the old home, but like the mists of the
morning those saintly old faces have long since vanished, but they fought the
good fight and won the crown which God has laid up for the faithful. She
departed this life December 21, 1913.

CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION AT CHARLESTON FOUR CORNERS

(Condensed from Report and Sermon by Rev. John Dowdisli Gove)

The celebration of the hundredth anniversary of the organization of the
Christian church at Charleston Four Corners, N. Y., occurred October 10-12, 1913.
The exercises opened on Friday evening with a sermon by Rev. J. M. Brown,
pastor of the Christian church at Quaker Street.

On Saturday morning, Mr. Jonas Y. Wands, clerk of the church, called the
roll of pastors of the church for the century, beginning with the present incum-
bent. Rev. Adelbert Welch. The only former pastor to answer in person was
Rev. O. I. Hathaway, now of Binghamton, N. Y. Revs. T. V. Moore, E. C. Hall,
R. G. Fenton, and A. L. Brand, former pastors, and Mrs. James Wright, widow of
a former pastor, responded by letter, while friends spoke for several others.

The name of Rev. John Ross, pastor of the church 1822-1874, brought out a
flood of kindly reminiscences. A long letter from Mr. Edward L. Potter, of
Johnstown, N. Y., now ninety-two years old, a nephew of Noadiah Potter, first
deacon of the church, was particularly happy. , ,

At 11 : 30 a. m. the whole congregation adjourned to the Ross Memorial Ceme-
tery, adjoining the church, and decorated the graves of former pastors and other
clergymen and church oflicers who are buried there.

Letters were read from Rev. Warren H. Denison, D. D., Rev. D. E. Powell,
Rev. Myron Tyler, and Rev. Henry W. McCrome. Rev. Henry Brown, pastor
of the Christian church at Cranberry Creek, N. Y., now eighty years old, and in
the sixtieth year of his ministry, also spoke.

"We meet to-day to celebrate the centennial of the establishment of the
Christian church at Charleston Four Corners. Yet, as we review the splendid
pages of your history, we must acknowledge that your work owes its inception to
'the hand of a woman,' Nancy Gove Cram.

John Gove was born in London, in 1604. He was a Protestant, and there
was a family tradition that, in company with two brothers, he fled from Holland
to escape persecution on account of his faith. Be that as it may, we know that,
accompanied by his wife and two sons, he came to Charleston, Mass., before 1647.
The family immediately became identified with the cause of liberty. His son.

THE CHRISTIAN ANNUAL

Edward Gove, and his grandson, John Gove, were implicated in the New Hamp-
shire rebellion, and the former was for some time under sentence of death.

His great-grandson, Jonathan Gove, had a large family, among whom was
found one Elijah Gove, who was the father of Nancy Gove Cram, and of her
half-brother, my great-grandfather. It is recorded of Elijah Gove that, with
his newly-wedded wife, Sarah Mills, he came to Weare, N. H., in 1773, with
a pair of three-year-old steers and a four-year-old colt, she riding the colt and
bringing all their household goods in two paii*s of saddle-bags. Nancy Gove was
born at Weare, February 28, 1776. The spirit of her father is shown by the fact
that on the sixth day of June, 1776, when she was but little more than three

months old, in common with many of the men of New Hampshire, he signed this
agreement :

'We, the subscribers, do hereby solemnly engage and promise, that we will,
to the utmost of our power, at the risque of our lives and fortunes, with arms
oppose the hostile proceedings of the British fleets and armies against the L'nited
American colonies.'

Thus he practically outlawed himself about a month before the Declaration
of Independence. Shortly after, he shouldered his gun and hastened to the de-
fense of New York. Thus, from her vei'y cradle, was she called on to share the
privations of the pioneer women. It is not strange that she grew up strong and
self-reliant. She was a devout member of the Free Baptist church, but soon
became deeply interested in the struggles of that new religious body, the Chris-
tians. Their freedom from sectarian bias could not fail to appeal to this
woman whose ancestors had ever been ready to fight for liberty.

It is typical of her life that, though the nation was then engaged in the War
of 1812, she mounted her saddle-horse and rode along the woodland trails which
led from New Hampshire across Vermont, and eventually reached the home of her
half-brother, here in Charleston, in safety. She soon became deeply impressed
with the religious needs of the community and, at a funeral held in the neigh-

borhood, she so poured forth her soul in prayer that many were convicted of sin
and, following her to her brother's house, urged her to make an appointment to
preach. She did so and a great revival followed. Believing that a church
ought to be organized, and not being herself ordained, she made the long journey
back to New Hampshire to try to induce some Free Baptist minister to come and
help her. None of them could be induced to come, so she pressed on to Wood-
stock, Vermont, where a general meeting of the Christians was in session. Here
she found two young men who promised to come a little later and one of the elder
brethren who could help until they could come. Returning to Charleston, it was
her privilege to see the church fully organized and established as witness this
copy of the original record, which is still preserved :

A record of the Church of Christ in Charleston, Montgomery County and
State of New York, December 9, 181.3.

The Church of Christ in this place was acknowledged on this day in the
following manner : Belie\ing that we have given ourselves to the Lord, we do

hereby give ourselves to one an-
other taking Jesus Christ for our
Master, His testament for our rule.
Witness our names: — Matthew Wil-
liams, Samuel LareAv, Eben Hoab,
Hannah Campbell, Theodocia Day,
Polly Edwards, Jacob Shibley, Wil-
liam Campbell, John Dopp, Jr., Sally
Hoag, Rhoda Gove, Nelly Dopp,
twelve in all."

(Rhoda Gove was my great-
grandmother and I am proud to add
that my grandfather, Johnson Gove,
my grandmother, Sarah Walker
Gove, my father, George Johnson
Gove, my mother, Louisa Bowdish
Gove, her mother, Jane Ann Bow-
dish, her grandfather and grand-
mother, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Van-
DerVeer, besides a host of collateral
relatives, have all been members of
the Charleston Four Corners
church.)

From 1813 to 1822 the new church
was without a settled pastor, but
was supplied by Elders Jas. Wilson, Jabez King, Jr., Jonathan S. Thompson,
John Spore, Asa Allen, Mosier, and Babcock.

Meanwhile Nancy Gove Cram had gone to Galway, N. Y., and held a success-
ful revival at the place where to-day the only woman now having a charge within
the bounds of our conference, Rev. Ada Alderman, is preaching the gospel of
Jesus Christ. While here her saddle-horse, which had been in pasture, strayed
away and could not be found, so she went to Schenectady to advertise for it, and
staying all night at Ballston, was requested to hold a series of meetings there,
which she did. Among those who became interested in her work was the family
of Alex. Ross, and among the converts were numbered the young soldier of the
war of 1812, John Ross, for many years pastor of this church, and Abigail Roberts.

108 THE CHRISTIAN ANNUAL

In 1822 John Ross was called to the pastorate of the church and served it
until 1874, an unbroken period of fifty-two years, although for a few years, on
account of poor health, he had an assistant. Up to his coming ninety-three
persons had been received into church fellowship. But, during his ministry, 859
persons were received into membership of whom he baptized 429. He organized
the church at Rural Grove as an independent body in 1856. He was "Scribe" at
the first session of the New York Conference in 181S where he was recognized
"as having gifts to improve in public." He served as secretary of the General
Conferences, or Conventions, of 1842 and 1846. and was, for three years, one
of the editors of the Christian Palladdum.

The following is a list of the later pastors of the church, the years of their
service :— Hezekiah Leonardson, 1874-1876 ; James Wright, 1876-1885 ; T. V. Moore,
1885-1888; Thomas Taylor, 1888-1890; O. I. Hathaway, 1890-1893; E. C. Hall,
1893-1897; Ira L. Peck, 1897-1904; R. G. Fenton, 1904-1906; A. L. Brand, 1906-
1909 ; Adelbert Welch, 1909 .

In all 1,245 have been received into membership in this church, to which, if
we add those received at Rural Grove, Carlisle, Randall, and Burtonville, all of
which were at one time branches of this church, at least 1,600 persons have been
received into membership in the church, and largely owe their religious experience
to "the hand of a woman."

This church has been especially notable for the number of her sons who have
entered the work of the gospel ministry. The list includes Revs. John Spoor, jr.,
Asa Allen, Amasa Stanton, Jarvis J. Carr, Eben Wood, Lyman Allen, George N.
Ross, John N. Spoor, Hezekiah Leonardson, Calvin Southwick, Samuel B. Bow-
dish, Hiram J. Gordon, Edwin Burnap, John H. Carr, Nelson Putnam, and Charles
McDuffie. Addie Hubbs died while preparing himself for the work and Clarence
Carr is now fitting himself. It might also be added that Revs. George Young, of
Carlisle, David Loucks, of Randall, and John Bowdish Gove, of Rural Grove, have
gone into the work from the former branch churches.

FEDERAL COUNCIL OF THE CHURCHES OF CHRIST IN AMERICA

Apportionment of Expenses Among the Constituent Denominations

for 1913

At the organization of the Federal Council in Philadelphia in 1908, the prin-
ciple that the Constituent Denominations should contribute to the expenses of the
Council in proportion to their membership was unanimously adopted.

The apportionment was fixed at the rate of one dollar for each thousand
members.

There has been a cordial effort on the part of the denominations to meet this
apportionment and a large proportion of them have done so. When thej^ have
not, it has largely been because there was no denominational fund to draw from,
and in some cases the amount has been made up by contributions from individuals
or individual churches.

This principle was re-affirmed at the meeting in Chicago in 1912.

The apportionments for 1913 are based as usual upon the figures of Dr. H. K.
Carroll's annual report.

WILLIAM KINKADE

[From a letter written by N. F. DeVore, of Ripley, Ohio, April 3, 1882.]

He settled in the territory of Illinois before it was erected into a State.
Wlien the State constitution was framed there was a violent contest between the
pro-slavery and anti-slavery parties. The Convention met at Vandalia. Kin-

kade was a member, and anti-
slavery to the core; also, John
G. Griffith, and another preach-
er whose name I do not now
remember. All the southern
part of the State was settled
by emigrants from the South,
and they were pro-slavery.
Kinkade was from Kentucky,
but bitterly opposed to slavery.
Mr. Griffith said to me. in
1855, as soon as he learned that
I knew Kinkade, that he was
one of the best, bravest, truest,
and greatest men he had ever
known. He told me of the
browbeating and threatening
on the part of the friends of
slavery in that convention ; but
he said that the courage, elo-
quence, and wisdom of this
Christian preacher gave to Illi-
nois a free State constitution.
Mr. Griffith told me that
the convention adjourned over to a certain day before taking the final vote on the
adoption of the constitution, and that during the adjournment the pro-slavery
party used all the means at their command to intimidate the friends of freedom —
threatening their lives, and especially the life of Kinkade, as he was the cham-
pion and leader. On the appointed day Kinkade appeared in the hall, armed
with knife and pistols, and, placing them on his desk, he said that he was a man
of peace, but as his life had been threatened he wished to be understood that he
should sell it as dearly as possible, and woe be unto the man who attempted to
molest him while he was in the discharge of his duties.

The debate lasted for several days, with Kinkade in the lead all the time;
but no one attempted any violence.

The vote on the clause prohibiting slavery was watched with intense anxiety,
as it was adopted by a very small majority. Mr. Griffith said that a large number
of the southerners, who were present to witness the contest and to influence the
result, went away greatly humiliated and crest-fallen, for they had expected an
easy victory.

114 THE CHRISTIAN ANNUAL

MINISTERS— CHURCH MEMBERS— AND HERALD OF GOSPEL

LIBERTY TAKEN

In some instances the number of ministers and church members in a State
were not known and hence the number to each could not be given, and where the
whole number of subscriptions are given without classification it may be supposed
that the ministers are entitled to a full share of credit.

The table as prepared and given is approximately correct. I presume it
would be next to impossible to give an exact statement, and if an exact statement
could Jae made it would only be exact for a day, as subscriptions are constantly
being added and discontinued, and ministers are daily changing their post-office
addresses.

This table does not include exchanges, those sent to contributors, or adver-
tisers or the hundred additional, printed each week.

WHY MARCH FOURTH IS INAUGURATION DAY

Few people, perhaps, know why the fourth of March was chosen for "Inau-
guration Day." I have read that when that date was chosen it was because it
seldom occurred on a Sunday. But three times in the history of our nation has
inauguration day fallen on Sunday. The first of the three was the second
inauguration of James Monroe, which occurred March 4, 1821; the second was
when Zachary Taylor was inaugurated, March 4, 1849, and the third was March
4, 1877, when Rutherford B. Hays took the oath of office.

Inauguration Day will fall on Sunday three times during each centtiry, or one
year after every seventh leap year. The calculations already made announce
that the following Sundays have fallen and will fall on March 4 : March 4, 1821 ;
March 4, 1849 ; March 4, 1877 ; March 4, 1917 ; March 4, 1945 ; March 4, 1973.

''THEY SHALL RISE AGAIN"

"Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit
the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
Behold. I tell you a mystery: We all shall not sleep, but we shall
all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye. at the
last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be
raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corrupt-
ible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on im-
mortality. But when this corruptible shall have put on incor-
ruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then
shall come to pass the saying that is written. Death is swallowed
up in victory. O death, where is thy victory? O death, where
is thy sting? The sting of death is sin; and the power of sin is
the law: but thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory through
our Lord Jesus Christ. Wherefore, my beloved brethren, be ye
steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord,
forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not vain in the Lord."
— 1 Cor. 15: 50-58.

Rev. A. T. Mercer, S9 Meigs St., Roches-
ter, N. T. — Christian Endeavor.

This Association meets annually on
the third Monday in June at Lakemont,
N. T. The objects are to promote the
union and advancement of all our
church interests within its bounds,
which comprise the territory covered
by the Christian conferences lying
wholly or in part in the State of New
York, and by cooperating with other
similar associations to promote the
union and advancement of the entire
body.

Through its six departments — Mis-
sionary, Relief. Educational, Publish-
ing, Sunday-school, and Christian En-
deavor— much permanent good has been
accomplished.

In connection with the New York
State Christian Association a new cor-
poration has been effected, known as
the New York State Christian Conven-
tion, embracing the same territory.
The Convention meets at the same time
as the Association and has the same
officers.

"J. F. Burnett,

Dear Brother: — In reply to your let-
ter, will say there is no one left here,
so it is of no use to call a conference,
as they have all gone so far away, and
some have left and joined other

churches, so the bottom of this confer-
ence has fallen out. There are only
four of us left and it would be only
useless to try to do anything.

I am sorry to say this, but it is a
fact.

Yours respectfully,

C. E. Larkee."

REV, MELISSA. TERRIM-,

Itricelyn, Minn.

Central Iowa Conference, Rev. Mrs.
Terrill, then Rev. Melissa Tlmmons,
was ordained at the Ebenezer Church,

Clark County. Ohio. March 7, 1867. Or-
daining: Committee: Elder Mark D.
Briney, Elder E. W. Humphreys, Elder

N. Dawson. The Deer Creek Conference
met at Shiloh Church in September of
the same year, -when the following res-
olution was adopted:

"Resolved, That while we do not ap-
prove of the ordination of women to
the Eldership of the church, as a eren-
eral rule, yet as Sister Melissa Tim-
mons has been set forward to that posi-
tion at the request of the church of
which she is now a member; therefore.
Resolved, That we send her creden-
tial letters of an ordained minister of
g-ood standing- in this conference."
Rev. Naaman Da-wson,

President of conference.
Rev. B. F. Thomas.

Secretary.

Mrs. Terrill was the first woman or-
dained by the Christians, and the first
in modern times to be ordained by any
denomination bv direct authority of a
conference or local congregation. She
was not the first woman ordained to
the ministry, but the first as stated
above to be ordained by the authority
of a conference or local congregation.

The above mention is taken from the
Annual of 1912, and is repeated here
merely because the picture of this noted
woman can be given with the mention
of her which could not be done at that
time, as her picture was not then avail-
able to the Christian Annual. We are
glad to present it here not only because
of the honor due her, but because of her
personal worth to the Christian Church
as well. Those who know her will
appreciate the picture.

In accordance with the Convention
recommendations, all the conferences
have organized local Conference Mis-

of the Convention Association. By the
plans thus inaugurated the funds for
home missions will be greatly increas-
ed. As regards foreign missions, there
is a steady growth of interest. A spe-
cial call was made upon the conferences
for missions at the late session of the
Convention. ^ ...

The report of the Committee on
Schools and Colleges, made at Elon Col-
lege, N. C. shows Elon College to be
highly successful and the endowment
increased to $30,000. That the churches
composing the Convention pay a tixea
sum annually of $2,200 for Elon College.

rassment as to its future progress.
